Becoming a Village and Growing Together

Before the new school year begins, let’s consider the ways that we can come together in our communities to nurture all our children. The proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” reminds us that parents and caregivers, families, educators and community members are all essential in children’s support ecosystem. Parents and caregivers are children’s first teachers and play a significant role in shaping their perspectives.

Inclusivity in education plays a critical role for all children, especially in the hostile environment created by discriminatory laws and censorship policies that threaten to erase LGBTQ+ identities and roll back the gains of recent years. Our resource page shares our articles and content on supporting LGBTQ+ people, including information on inclusive education practices and allyship, and provides links to external resources.

Student Podcasts Help Inform a Community

A group of technology-loving eighth-graders at Georgetown Day School combined their digital skills with a passion for helping others. It was community service in a computer lab.

NOVAM educates the public about HIV and AIDS and provides support to people and families coping with the disease. The eighth graders hoped their mini-radio programs might be posted on the organization’s website for clients to download.
