<div><span>My name is Adam Myers, and I’m the Director of The Goddard Spark, the next programmatic iteration of Goddard's pedagogy, culture and values after its tragic closure last year. The Goddard Spark is possible via an official partnership with Execusuite, the new owners of the Goddard campus and the Goddard trademark.</span>

</div>

<div><span><br /></span>

</div>

<div><span>Originally built to offer innovative learning that encouraged critical and creative thinking during the global rise of fascism in the 1940s, despite its many struggles Goddard College remained defined by its opposition to authoritarian and oppressive efforts, its support of marginalized groups and its radical approach to learning until it was closed in August 2024 by its board and president for reasons caused by their own mismanagement, robbing not only future students from its life changing approach to learning but also breaking the hearts of staff, faculty and students who poured the hearts and souls into the school for years, and for some decades. It was a very special, transformative, deeply essential space that quite literally changed the lives of all that attended.</span>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Goddard Spark is an effort to reignite the “spark” that made Goddard College so special in the form of a new lifelong learning program primarily hosted on the Goddard College campus in Plainfield, VT inspired directly by and aiming to intelligently evoke the pedagogy, values and culture of Goddard College. It is being developed by Goddard alum Adam Myers in partnership with Execusuite, the new owners of the Goddard College campus and the Goddard trademark. <br />

</div>


<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Goddard Spark instructors will be collectively offering a large variety of unique and accessible curriculums that will explore everything from music, personal empowerment, community organization, leadership, and beyond in inclusive, diverse and compassionate student-first environments that recognize and respect individualized learning styles and meet individual needs. <br />


</div>

<div><br />

</div>


<div>The mission Goddard College is our mission as well:


</div>


<div>TO ADVANCE CULTURES OF RIGOROUS INQUIRY, COLLABORATION, AND LIFELONG LEARNING, WHERE INDIVIDUALS TAKE IMAGINATIVE AND RESPONSIBLE ACTION IN THE WORLD.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Our needs are to:


</div>


<div>1) pay the instructors fairly and help cover their travel costs.


</div>


<div>2) Reserve spaces for each class.


</div>


<div>3) Reserve lodgings in the campus dorms.


</div>


<div>4) provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for each student.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Please help us fund this incredible project &lt;3


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Also, if you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to those whose lives were changed by Goddard and wish to see its transformative environment live on and touch the lives of those who hadn't yet gotten the privilege before the original College was shut down.

</div>
