Schools in Community
Gatherings that explore how schools can be more community-focused and deeply equity-driven, offered in collaboration with teachers, thought leaders, activists and entrepreneurs. We facilitate learning and conversation to build relationships, foster new perspectives, and inspire action.

What People Are Saying . . .
“At the end of a busy school day, I love the opportunity to step back and reflect on our purpose with the AnchorEd team at Virtual Happy Hour! The happy hours provide a welcome opportunity to connect with educators, share resources and inspiration, and reflect on how schools can foster growth and change in our communities.”
— Ariel, Mysa School
“It was an opportunity to engage deeply with people who are working in emergent spaces of community-based change. Genuine conversation without any posturing about purpose and impact.”
— Paul, Educator and Consultant
