We are a nonprofit organization committed to helping educators dare to ask the question, why not? We strongly believe these words unlock doors to possibilities unknown. Our aim is to amplify the importance of community partnerships, expose more students to music, and integrate the arts in every school. Why not?

Our mission is to empower educators to reimagine teaching and learning differently where they empower their scholars, not just engage them.

We offer a variety of workshops, keynotes to help educators learn strategies and tools for integrating the arts and fostering a more creative environment.

Jacqueline's work combines: Art, Education, and Teaching / Mentoring
Accomplished educator, leadership guru, and author Dr. Jacqueline Sanderlin is the Founder and CEO of the Why Not Incubator, a non-profit organization designed to support at-risk youth in the most challenging communities. Her journey began when she teamed up with over 300 community partnerships to increase the arts in schools, support music initiatives, enrichment programs and access for all. She was the first principal who brought Education Through Music LA to her school and provide music classes for all students as a core curriculum. In collaboration with NBC, she launched a reality show, School Pride, which helped remodel dilapidating schools around the country. Her book The Why Not Challenge: Say Yes to Success with School-Community Partnerships shares her passion and practical take-a-ways for forming lasting community relationships.
Those efforts led to a personal mission of empowering educators, leaders, parents and individuals to ask the question, why not?
