Do teachers deserve the support, resources, and trust that they need to bring important Food Education into their classrooms?
We think so, too.
That’s why when Pilot Light teachers come to us with their questions, ideas, and plans for innovative new Food Education lessons, we strive to say YES as much as possible. Every day, we hear questions from Pilot Light teachers looking to give their students a more interactive, engaging learning environment through Food Education. Our educator partners teach students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities about their relationship to food and the food system through integrated Food Education lessons. By learning through food and about food, students develop the knowledge and skills to make informed choices and to advocate for themselves, their communities, and our food system.
Who are Pilot Light Changemakers?
A Pilot Light Changemaker is someone who says YES when called upon to take action for Food Education. Pilot Light Changemakers believe that Food Education is a vitally important part in all students’ development, and are committed to supporting the educators who make it possible by making a monthly donation to Pilot Light.
Pilot Light Changemakers say YES by committing to a monthly donation that aligns with their values, budget, and passion for Food Education.
Why give monthly?
Monthly giving is the best way to show your dedication to the food system leaders of the future — and the educators that make it all possible. As a Pilot Light Changemaker, you’ll receive special behind-the-scenes stories every month directly from our classrooms, so you can see the impact of your YESes in action. You’ll also receive early access to event ticket sales and more surprise bonus perks throughout the year. Most importantly, you’ll receive the satisfaction of knowing that your donation is truly making a difference in hundreds of classrooms throughout the country. As students and teachers continue to readjust to the turmoil of pandemic-era education, classroom connection is more important than ever. Food Education brings classrooms together and connects students to their academics, themselves, and each other in a way that no other learning method can. Are you ready to say YES to becoming a Pilot Light Changemaker?
Thank you to our Changemakers!
