Welcome to
Growing Changemakers
Nurturing Young Changemakers
Growing Changemakers is a Baltimore Forest School for students in grades K-8 that, fosters and nurtures an educational space guided by students’ questions and perceptions of the world around them and seeks to develop collective critical consciousness to uplift community and human-centered values.
Honors and develops youth voices through a sociocratic practice,
Centers antiracism as a priority for disrupting racial capitalism,
Disrupts colonialism and capitalism in its structures and pedagogy,
Uplifts a love and care for our environment and our world through outdoor learning spaces and classrooms in nature,
Prioritizes social and emotional learning and creative and collaborative processes as a means for cultivating and nurturing its students as agents of changemaking.
Our Approach
Growing Changemakers envisions a learning community where systems exist to support and love people, providing foundations and pathways for changemaking.
Growing Changemakers is employing a socialist process in which we hope to educate young people and families to be critical of a system in which European male-dominated capital classes, makes war not only on African and Indigenous people, as well the White working classes, but the environment and treats us all as though we were disposable. We seek to provide young people with the tools to imagine and create a whole new world free of capitalism. We hope to teach young people to be in solidarity with one another and to build networks that are sustainable.
