Posted on by admin

Saturday May 4th – 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM TAG Education for Liberation Curriculum Fair and Citywide Summit Folk Arts and Cultural Treasures School, 1023 Callowhill Street

The morning Curriculum Fair will feature workshops, unit and lesson plans, projects, resources, and best practices for social justice education. This will be a space for educators to connect and exchange, learn from each other, and take new ideas back to their own classrooms. The afternoon Summit will be a space for building stronger community alliances for education justice, as parents, students, community members, and educators. Our public schools are under attack, and it will take a movement to fight back. Come learn from people who have organized together to save and transform their schools, and figure out how to take the lessons back to your school community.

The fair will also be featuring sessions hosted by The Attic Youth Center, Philadelphia Youth Poetry Movement, Decarcerate PA, and more!

Posted on by admin

The 2012 Philadelphia Folk Festival was an overwhelming success due in large part to all the volunteers. There are approximately 2,000 direct volunteers for the event, as well as, an additional 2,000 ancillary volunteers.

The Skippack Lions Club runs a charity food booth )staffed by ancillary volunteers) that raises money to help children.

To all Skippack Lions 2012 Folk Fest Volunteers:

A HUGE THANK YOU from the Skippack Lions for making the 2012 Charity Folk Fest Food Booth a good year (still tallying the final numbers).  We can’t do this without all of you great volunteers!  We appreciate the help from each and every one of you for your volunteer efforts from Booth Set-Up/Tear Down to Hoagie Making to Working the Booth.

Remember, the funds we raise help many people in many ways from supporting the Visually Impaired, Diabetes Awareness, Veterans Charities (Fisher House), Beacon Lodge Camp for Visually Impaired Kids,  Local College Scholarships and many more local, regional and world wide programs.  By helping us, you help make a difference in your community too!

We hope to see you next year!

Thank you!
