SHARE Education Services

What SHARE Education Services does

SHARE Education Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 1994 and incorporated in Michigan, that delivers educational consulting, academic assessments, regional conferences, and seminars to English-speaking expatriate families serving in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Its mission is to reduce preventable family repatriation by supporting children's education across transitions; core offerings include Individualized Consulting, Academic Assessments and Evaluations (Early Reading Assessment K-2, Basic Skill Assessments 3-12, Struggling Learner Assessments, Career Direct in 21 languages), SHARE for Young Children (SFYC, birth to age 5), Family Education Conferences, and Seminars and Workshops. Service delivery relies on a website portal, Google Forms-based consultation/registration workflows, and periodic in-person regional conferences (Greece 2026, Hungary 2027); there is no native mobile application, no public API, and no documented AI/ML components.

The organization operates as a cooperative co-sponsored by 16 international sending agencies that pay nominal annual fees, appoint board representatives under a policy governance model, and direct their overseas personnel to SHARE at reduced rates. Its 185 serving staff are on-loan from sponsoring agencies or self-funded, so SHARE carries no salary or benefits expense. Revenue mechanics comprise three streams: recurring sponsorship fees from agencies, tax-deductible donations from individuals and organizations, and program service fees for conferences, assessments, and consulting. FY2024-25 total expenditures were $183,640, with 87.4% directed to programs, 12.5% to management/general, and less than 1% to fundraising. International headquarters is in Budapest, Hungary; administrative offices are in Birmingham, AL and Durham, NC.
