From the IDEA (Institute for Democratic Education in America) Newsletter:
If you’re ready for a different story to be told about education – a story about education that is by, for, and with young people, educators, families, and communities – then we’d love for you to apply to be an IDEA Organizer.
Community organizing is a time-tested model that we believe can be well utilized, along with digital organizing, to generate a powerful catalytic effect in the lives of folks most directly experiencing challenges and wanting change. For the past two years, we’ve been privileged to work with organizers who are teachers, students, parents, digital changemakers, and community leaders.
This year, we’ve designed a new structure for the organizing teams. Seven teams will focus on specific groups in education (such as young people and schools), and three additional teams will focus on digital organizing, planning IDEC 2013, and advancing work in specific regions where IDEA has a presence.
