Spread the Word
Tell your friends, families, and the educators in your life. Join our cause on Facebook. Parents can have a particular impact by talking with teachers and administrators at their children's schools, and inquiring about adding a philosophy program. Local government (from school board members to state legislators) can be a good resource. Talk to them about adding innovative programs to return public school to its soul of civic minded education.
Volunteer
There are many ways to help. The first step is getting in touch with us. Here are a few:
- Incorporate philosophy into your classroom or educational program (eg literacy).
- Become a philosophy instructor and teach at local schools.
- Start with your children. Philosophy opens up a whole new way of interacting with kids. It can enrich your relationship with your children as well as your understanding of them.
- Share video, annecdotes and stories from your philosophical adventures.
- Give feedback. What works best? What could use improvement?
- Run a study. Are you a psychologist, sociologist or student? Work out a method to investigate the impact of philosophy with kids. Possible topics could range from class participation to peer pressure.
- Lobby your local representatives. Any efforts to support education are of great help and import.
- Network. Do you know people who would love to be involved? Conferences or schools we could come speak at? Let us know!
- Research grants and fundraising opportunities.
Work for Us
We are looking for help! Currently we have unpaid internships open, but are accepting resumes for help with fundraising/grantwriting, and regional directors to run programs in states across the country.
