GUARDIAN GATHERINGS
Come Together. Serve the Future.

Guardian Gatherings bring young people, educators, schools, organizations, and community partners together around the Five Promises.

​

Participants share meaningful work, learn from one another, build relationships, and make commitments that lead to continuing action.

​

We gather to listen.

We gather to learn.

We leave ready to act.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GUARDIANS GATHER?

Guardian Gatherings are active, participatory experiences built around four shared practices.

SHARE
LEARN
CONNECT
COMMIT

Present meaningful work, lived experiences, promising ideas, and lessons learned.

Listen across cultures, generations, organizations, and communities.

Build relationships with people and partners who share a commitment to serving the future.

Choose a promise, identify a meaningful next step, and turn learning into continuing action.

ONE PURPOSE. MANY WAYS TO GATHER

Every Guardian Gathering reflects its community, participants, and priorities. It may take place within one school, across a city, throughout a region, or online.
