Become an Organizing Partner

The Alliance for Self-Directed Education is thrilled to partner with all kinds of organizations that are supportive of and advocate for Self-Directed Education through the Organizing Partners program.

To qualify for the program, organizations must be actively supportive of the SDE movement in some way that is publicly visible, such as operating an SDE-aligned school or learning center, or providing services or products intended to support SDE. An “organization” can also be a one-person business that provides SDE support services, such as an educational consultant or coach.

Organizing Partner perks include:

  • Annual Mail from ASDE including clothing, stickers, magnets and other SDE Swag. Note:  Swag will be sent only to folks who support for 3 months or more. We send swag quarterly, so you will receive your swag during the quarter that immediately proceeds your 3 months. This means it may take a little longer for us to send swag.
  • Your Name or Organization’s Logo on our website (will link to the homepage of your site) and in our Media Kit
  • Invitation to Bi-Annual Focus Group Meetings with ASDE’s team to shape the direction of ASDE’s efforts and share your needs with the Alliance
  • A special digital “badge” that you can display in your on your website (Similar to individual member badges)
  • A Member Only quick guide to SDE: great for sharing the philosophy with friends and family, or as a reference
  • Access to ASDE’s Podcast — Saving the Seeds of SDE
  • Access to ASDE’s Community Event recordings
  • Community Support via ASDE’s Discord Servers
  • Other emergent partnership opportunities such as early access to some offerings
