OPEN CALL
FOR EDUCATORS NIGHT NONPROFIT PARTNERS
Each year, we invite nonprofits from across Southeast Michigan to join us at Educators Night and share their resources. This year, we are reaching out directly to the community to bring new voices, ideas, and resources into conversation with hundreds of Michigan educators with a nonprofit open call!
We invite nonprofit organizations whose work supports education, youth engagement, arts and culture, community development, health, accessibility, or family services to participate as partners in this year’s event.
Participation for nonprofit partners is completely free. Hosting institutions will provide tables and chairs — participating organizations simply need to bring their resources and be ready to connect with educators throughout the evening. Participating organizations will have the opportunity to share programming and educational materials, build relationships with schools and cultural institutions, and increase awareness of opportunities available to students, teachers, and families across the region.
Interested organizations can apply to participate in Educators Night below.
