Get Involved with Repair!
Volunteer to work in cyberspace to help further a culture of repair!
(In-person volunteer opportunities in The East Bay, California, are HERE.)
The Culture of Repair Project is currently focused primarily on supporting teaching about repair in educational setting, bringing the mindset, technologies, thinking skills, systems understandings, and caring values, into K - 12 educational settings.
The most exciting objective is to provide educators what they need to integrate repair into core subject areas, fulfilling curricular standards, thereby enriching classroom instruction.
This initiative also maintains resource pages for people interested in various other dimensions of repair: technical how-to’s, scholarship and research, global repair initiatives, arts, mind, body and spirit, and others.
This work, with its global reach, is almost entirely virtual.
Because everything I do is in collaboration with others I often write as “we”. But, in fact, “we” = me. My time and technical expertise are limited and many, many opportunities get by for lack of resources.
I could use a hand! Two or three would be grand.
As a non-educator focused on repair in educational settings, I particularly need input and guidance from professional K-12 educators.
I could use help:
Finding and creating images for newsletters, the website and social media
Supporting newsletters: editing text for clarity, brevity and punch; reviewing the overall flow of content; checking spelling, grammar, syntax; creating content
Scouring the internet for materials to add to resources pages
Turbocharging distributing educational materials
Maintaining this website
Helping administer the grants program
Networking
Reflecting with me about repair —> thinking big thoughts!
I particularly NEED help from educators to:
Think through objectives, goals and strategies
Think through programming — what, when, how
Collaborate
Network
My intentions in engaging other volunteers are:
to give people enthusiastic about repair a space to deploy their strengths,
to manage this project with a high degree of professionalism, and
to get things done, furthering a culture of repair.
If you’d like to help out, take a look around the website.
Then email and tell me a little about yourself, including what work you’re interested in and what skills and experience you would bring to the work. The email address is “contact” at this domain.
The Culture of Repair Project is a volunteer and private initiative, run by me, with the support of many generous souls volunteering their time and expertise, in collaboration with a lot of other generous souls.
The initiative is not a 501(c)3.
