Living Classrooms Foundation | 40th Anniversary 1985-2025

Living Classrooms Foundation implements community-driven, research-based, best practices that value the priorities and aspirations of our community members and deliver both opportunity and results. We provide hands-on learning opportunities for individuals of all ages at our Crossroads Public Charter Middle School, community centers, in our workforce development programming, aboard our historic ships, and in our urban green spaces. We endeavor to create both equitable access to opportunity and a sense of belonging in learning environments where students are safe, known, loved, and welcome.
