OUR COMPANY Kokua’s mission is to empower students by matching schools with passionate guest educators who maximize substitute teaching time. By the end of high school, teacher absences result in an average of 1+ years of lost learning time, particularly in underserved communities. We solve this problem by placing dedicated substitutes (or Guest Teachers) into classrooms across the United States.
