Our vision
How We began,
The Nia (Purpose) Foundation is the non-profit entity of the former Educational Concepts Group. Educational Concepts relaunched and rebranded as The Nia Foundation in order to focus on community-based services for the inner-cities of Southern California. This re-emergence allowed us to best serve our goal of individualizing our support for schools in supporting the uniqueness of all exceptional scholars.

Our team
NIA’s Spotlight of Shining Stars

Aden R. Tucker
CEO and UDL Intervention Specialist of the Year
Aden brings his expertise as a consummate behaviorist, case manager, and intervention specialist to Nia Foundation; a valued skill set that led to his promotion to Chief Executive Officer. He fulfills his leadership role inside and outside of the school setting by volunteering his services to his most needy families during school vacations to ensure students will maintain their acquired skill levels. Mr. Tucker also adds humanity to his role in Nia by providing clothing and provisions to further support families in transition.

Tamaika Jones
SLPA Of The Year
As a working mother who earned her Speech Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA) Certification, Tamaika uses her multitasking abilities to onboard fellow Nia SLPA new hires. With the beginning of COVID-19 school closures, Ms. Jones seamlessly spearheaded Nia’s transition to Virtual Therapy and continued supporting all of her SLI students without a glitch.

Celine Kerepetian-Brundage
Teacher Of The Year
One of the most adaptable members of our team, Celine is just one example of Nia teachers who work to generate a successful academic environment for both our students and schools. She designed and implemented an Academic Enrichment and Business Leadership Intervention class at one of our charter schools while adjusting to life as a newlywed. Mrs. Kerepatian-Brundage has led the way in our transition from brick and mortar to virtual-distance learning without missing a step.
