Educators’ Neighborhood

Educators’ Neighborhood is a community of educators who learn together inspired from the life and work of Fred Rogers. We define “educator” broadly to include any adult who directly serves children, youth, families, and/or other educators. This year-long opportunity brings together a cohort of individuals from across the world who learn together, primarily through virtual meetings, and consider how to deepen their application of Fred Rogers’ work and theory to their work with children.
