We are looking for an individual with the heart of a loving parent or mentor who wants to engage with young people in a way that is authentic and purposeful. Applicants should be attuned to children and teens in a way that inspires and encourages fun learning experiences. GROW Facilitators are expected to model what it means to be a lifelong learner. They are simultaneously educators, students, artists, scientists, explorers, counselors, entrepreneurs, tacticians, philosophers, leaders, and service workers.
GROW was founded upon the following principles:
- Children are people;
- Learning is natural and cannot be measured; Education is most precious when the learner is inspired and interested;
- A mixed-aged community promotes learning that is beneficial to all;
- People learn from culture;
- Personal development is encouraged through cycles of intention, creation, reflection, and sharing;
- A community seeking and embracing diversity facilitates a more holistic education.

Mission Statement
GROW’s mission is to cultivate an ecosystem that is committed to providing children and communities an enriching work and learning environment where they are free to explore, discover, and pursue their purpose.
Description
GROW provides a supportive and enriching learning space in support of self-directed learning for children ages 4-18. Our model is inspired by methodologies such as Montessori, Unschooling, Agile Learning, and Democratic Education. We are members of the Agile Learning Center Network and we've integrated Agile Learning Tools into our model. These tools provide GROW learners a framework to be intentional about their learning goals, organize their efforts, reflect on their results, and share their progress for authentic assessment.
GROW learning spaces are ever evolving and designed to spark curiosity and serendipitous learning opportunities. We provide learners access to a variety of sensory materials, books, games, tools, instruments, technology, and outdoor spaces that allow them to play, explore, tinker, and discover.
There are no failures at GROW. We believe in the Play, Passion, Purpose continuum. Our integrative community approach and ecosystem have been designed to support our learners GROWth through this continuum so that each one of them arrives at the Purpose stage fully aware of how their unique talents and interests have value in society.
