At PEDC, we believe meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens when people come together with shared purpose and bold vision. Through collective action, we break down silos, bridge communities, and build momentum for inclusive, culturally relevant, and sustaining education.
Together, we are creating learning environments where every student—and every educator—can thrive. And you don’t have to go far to make a difference. With opportunities to participate in person or virtually, locally or statewide, there’s a place for everyone to engage.
No matter how much time you have or where you’re located, there’s a way for you to be part of the movement. We foster a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where everyone—regardless of experience or background—can contribute to meaningful change.
Join collaborative spaces where members from across Pennsylvania’s educational ecosystem come together to tackle real challenges. From policy and advocacy to recruitment and retention, our working groups are where ideas become action. Share your insights, learn from others, and help shape strategies that build a more diverse and equitable educator workforce. Email info@paeddiversity.org for more information about our working groups.
Be part of hands-on initiatives that make a lasting impact. Contribute to toolkits, resource guides, and community-led research. Attend dynamic gatherings—both virtual and in-person—that include workshops, conferences, and open forums. PEDC events are designed for networking, knowledge-sharing, and sparking new possibilities.
Raise your voice for equity in education. Whether it’s joining policy discussions, connecting with local decision-makers, or sharing your story, advocacy is a vital part of our work. Help us bring attention to the importance of educator diversity and culturally sustaining education—because every story shared is a step toward systemic change.
