Community Partnerships

What is a Community Partnership?
When a school or organization partners with MNW, many wonderful things occur! An organization becomes a Community Partner by donating to Montessori Northwest’s scholarship fund. 100% of your organization’s donation goes directly into the MNW’s scholarship fund, increasing access to Montessori Teacher Training for future teachers who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color. Any school, business, or organization can become a Community Partner. If you are an individual who wishes to donate to Montessori Northwest, please visit our Make a Donation page.

Why Become a Community Partner?
The future of Montessori education depends on a commitment to increase access to educators of the global majority. Representation matters. Our
innovation began with adapting our program structure to the blended format and restructuring our programs to include Anti-Bias Anti-Racist and
Justice Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion education. The work is not done. Dedicating a percentage of you school budget to a Community Partnership
with Montessori Northwest will grow the circle of Montessori educators; each year we welcome a new cohort of students who will transform into those
who will work alongside you hereafter.

What are the Community Partnership Benefits?
When you become a Community Partner, you declare your organization's commitment to helping a wide variety of people access the training. You show the world that your school or organization takes the training of Montessori teachers seriously, and that you value and believe in the training that MNW has to offer. There are additional benefits as well, such as acknowledgment of your school/organization on our website and in our newsletter, discounts on workshops (excludes all AMI Courses), and free job postings!
