A Conversation with Winston Daley, Founder of Agogos

Winston Daley was born in Jamaica and emigrated to Boston at 10 years old. In 2016,

Winston decided to leave his career in finance to work with youth. Sports was his first

connection point to the US and so that is where he pivoted: coaching, creating leagues

for kids, working in schools, and becoming a Lead Facilitator at the Center for Sport

in Society, doing workshops on relationship violence, racism and social justice.

Winston has also worked in the nonprofit space on youth employment, environmental

justice and community empowerment.

Winston stepped into the startup world with Agogos after seeing his daughter’s school

administrators’ struggle to find educators of color and watching the passive hiring

practices of school districts. He believed he could create a solution to make hiring

easier. Agogos’ goal is to create a hiring platform and community of practice

dedicated to the recruitment, development, education and support of educators of

color.
