Celebrating 40 Years
of Innovation and Impact
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. Our mission is to strengthen communities and inspire children, youth, and adults to achieve their potential through hands-on education, workforce development, health and wellness, and community safety programs that use urban, natural, and maritime resources as "living classrooms."
