Summer Organizing Training and Practicum
At its core, Organizing for Education is about engaging educators and those that support education, listening to their stories and learning from their experiences.
Build Your Skills
Whether it is turning your co-workers out to a rally, going door-to-door for your local state representative, or facilitating the planning meeting for your next PRIDE event, organizing is at the heart of much of what we do as community leaders. Take your activism to the next level by spending your summer with us.
Take on New Challenges
Organizing for Education partners to provide its members with paid work experience designed to give exposure to various aspects of the campaign and organizing environment. Learn to use tools like digital tools to connect with educators other members of the community to dialogue about the issues that make them tick.
Make a Difference
This past Summer we talked with thousands of educators about preparing for the new school year, and also just to ask, "how are you REALLY doing?" We connected members to resources, helped them find new jobs, and just listened, because it has been a hard few years, and sometimes that is enough.
From Current Participants
“I have missed the daily interaction with my colleagues since I retired and it was so gratifying to speak to members in different roles and stages of their careers.”
“The conversations ranged from joyous to unsettling to productive to enlightening and so much more.”
