For the past 13 years, Agile Learning Facilitators have been changing conversations about education.

ALC-NYC was a hopeful and experimental microschool in East Harlem before becoming one of many in a vibrant global network! Our staff here at the flagship Agile Learning Center feel particularly responsible for sharing our learning, nurturing new facilitators, and building partnerships between projects.

Join us from July 23rd – July 26th for workshops, skill-sharing, and a gathering!

This ALC-NYC Summer program is held in our East Harlem school. The experience will include workshops, practice, and reflection time, hosted by our local facilitators.

We are also planning a gathering at Rockaway Beach in August, as well as potential family co-working days through summer and online peer-support offerings through the fall. Let us know if you’d like email updates!

The Schedule:

Welcome picnic in Central Park ~ July 23rd!

Workshops and Offerings ~ July 24th – July 25th!

Open Space and Community Celebration ~ July 26th!

Details

When? July 23 – 26! Doors will be open by 9:00 am. We’ll begin on time at 9:30 am. Afternoons will vary, but we’ll aim to close by 3:00 pm. 

Where? 1325 Fifth Ave., Ground CU1, New York, NY 10029

How Much? Sliding scale from $375 – $1200, with additional tax deductible donations to the school always welcome.

Meals: At ALC-NYC, people eat when they’re hungry. They pack lunches, buy delicious tacos from down the street, store groceries for making meals at school, or coordinate with friends to order bigger meals to share. This summer, we’ll do the same, with facilitators providing snacks, neighborhood recommendations, and coordination if the group decides to all order in one of the days.

Transportation: Our location on East 111th Street and 5 Avenue is accessible by the 2/3 train most easily. Folks also arrive on the 6, Q, C, M98, , M106, M101, M4 and several other buses. Finding street parking in the neighborhood is doable but not easy.

Childcare: Young people are welcome in the space, both in sessions and hanging out while the adults do what we’re doing. The space is set up for kids 7+ to self-direct in, so there’s plenty to explore. If you would like to bring a kid or kids and need a dedicated childcare person available on site for that to feel good, please let the facilitators know.

Accessibility Notes: We’re on the ground floor of a building with a street entrance. Bathrooms are gender inclusive. We have central air, a water fountain, and wifi. Facilitators plan to maintain air filtration and good ventilation, with masking being optional.

We’re excited to be gathering again! Hope to see you there!
