Volunteers Educator Community

Volunteer Partners for a Growing Educator-Led Nonprofit

Organization: Collab

ED. Educator Development and Collaboration Alliance Inc.

Type: Volunteer. Remote. Flexible Commitment.

Location: Based in New York. Serving educators nationally.

Collab

ED is an educator-built, educator-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing collaboration, professional growth, and innovation in teaching and learning.

We are building an online professional community where educators connect, mentor one another, share best practices, and engage in meaningful dialogue that strengthens their craft and improves student outcomes.

We believe educator isolation is one of the greatest barriers to instructional improvement. Sustainable change begins with connection.

Collab

ED is intentionally growing at a human pace. We prioritize trust, clarity, ethical systems, and respect for educator capacity over performative metrics or rapid expansion.

Volunteers are partners in building infrastructure. Not free labor.

We are currently seeking volunteers across multiple areas. You do not need to qualify for all roles. Scope and focus are shaped collaboratively based on strengths and availability.

Support educator discussion spaces within our platform.
