Meet Marie!
Hi, I’m Marie Saint-Cyr.
Over the past several years, I’ve built multiple businesses working with NYC public schools and generated over $1 million in school-based contracts.
I created this community because many vendors working with schools are often trying to figure things out on their own, from finding funding and understanding school budgets to reaching principals and getting paid.
My goal with this community is simple:
To create a space where vendors can connect, share opportunities, ask questions, and learn how to grow their work with NYC schools.
Members also get access to a monthly learning session, where I cover practical topics requested by the community, such as outreach strategies, pricing programs, navigating school funding, and more.
