How it works

  1. A local leader hosts a lab.

The Story

27 Circle Foundation was started by Ebra Yavari to help people learn and grow together in small, close-knit groups.

In every neighborhood, a few people bring everyone together. The foundation was created to make their work easier with simple tools, so more people can take it on.

Ebra came to Desert Rose, a community learning center in Eloy, Arizona, to learn alongside a real community. The foundation’s first lab, Mothers of Newborns, grew out of that time. It’s led by Flora, a local parent, with Dr. William Maxwell, a lifelong educator.

In 2021, Ebra started a Bay Area community for young adults that brought hundreds of people together in person. Before that, he worked in supply chain and operations at Google, Apple, Tesla, and Nuro. He holds an MBA from the Yale School of Management and an engineering degree from Georgia Tech. He leads the foundation.
