CARE Society

Our Global Collaborative Learning Network for Students, Families, and Educators

Education Reimagined, Learner-Centered

The CARE Society is a global learning network empowering students and families to take ownership of their learning through project-based education and collaboration.

For any families seeking a better way to connect, learn, and collaborate in the real world.

The CARE Society is a membership student-driven learning community where young people grow by creating real-world projects that reflect their passions, strengths, and purpose. Instead of focusing on teaching students what we think they need to learn, we provide an environment where they can apply what they learn in meaningful ways. Through hands-on, self-directed projects, students develop life skills, confidence, and a deep sense of ownership over their education.

The CARE Society blends the flexibility of online learning with the power of mentorship, collaboration, and community. Students can work independently or join Learning Pods—small groups led by trained facilitators that meet virtually or in person. We also support families and educators in launching local microschools and project-based learning events by offering training, certification, and ongoing guidance rooted in the principles of CARE.

We use an online platform hosted by Mighty Networks to build community, collaborate on projects, and lead the CAREvolution together.

    Learning Pods

    Students can join an online Learning Pod to learn alongside a small group of peers guided by a trained facilitator. In pods, students become self-directed, designing and achieving their own goals through creative projects that make a real difference in their community.
