Today, Springboard raises the rallying cry for deeply transformative education that engages the whole person–body, mind and spirit–and reorients a young person’s focus from a state of narrow self-regard to an ever-broadening commitment to the well being of the planet and the good life of all.
We do this with the sense that, in the words of Jonathan Rowson,
“The intellectual and cultural resources of modernity have been exhausted and are no longer sufficient to protect the ecological foundations of life.”
Working with and leveraging the strengths and interests of existing entities and aligned parties, Springboard aims to play a catalytic role in growing the movement for deeply transformative education for young adults in the US.
As the movement grows, we believe we can play an important role in manifesting the cultural and spiritual transformation needed to address the climate crisis and other urgent issues of our time.
Bringing together practitioners, thought leaders, philanthropists, and young adults, we will work to ensure this movement has the pedagogical depth, financial capital and political will necessary for it to grow and thrive.
