​In 2021, the Field Academy is committed to our vision of making learning and life indistinguishable. This moment in our country demands it. Here are the four reasons we are asking you to join us in giving to the Field Academy today:
​
  • ​We're Used To The New Normal: The pandemic pushed education outside of the classroom. Now, everyone is a teacher and student in new and challenging ways. We have over a decade of experience teaching and learning in the complexity that exists beyond the walls of conventional schooling. In 2021, we will develop curricula to support families, teachers, students, and schools across the United States whose schooling has moved out of the classroom and into the field.
​
  • “Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed, But Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced.”: James Baldwin’s words are at the heart of our pedagogy. Our curriculum isn’t simply memorizing and reciting the history of the United States. We dig into issues of power, race, privilege, and justice across this country so that students can construct and practice new ideas about how to live in active, pluralistic democracy now. In 2021, we plan to pilot a summer pod curriculum that will support small groups of students and educators to safely explore the critical issues of this political, social, and ecological moment.
​
  • We Bring People Together: We have a proven ability to bridge divides of geography, religion, politics, and perspective through educational experiences that center listening and storytelling. Since our founding, we've worked to understanding and shifting unjust systems of power and privilege within this country.  In 2021, in this divisive moment, the Field Academy will partner with non-traditional educational organizations — like youth leadership initiatives, community groups and media cooperatives — to weave a network stronger than the politics of this moment.
​
  • A New Generation Of Leaders: Our board is now directed by a diverse team of alumni, educational leaders, activists, and visionaries from across this nation. Meet our leadership team here. In 2021, we will offer training, internship, and leadership opportunities for alumni across the country so that young people continue directing this vision for transformational education.
​​

We can't do it without you. Join us. Give by January 1 to bring us closer to raising the $11,000 we need to kick this year off!
