Volunteer or Intern for The Miami Sudbury SchoolDo you believe you have valuable gifts to share with the Miami Sudbury School Community?
We are a unique school model in which students have democratic say in all school decisions and also have full responsibility for their own learning. The Sudbury model believes that by treating students with the respect and responsibilities of adults, students grow in ability and responsibility. To this effect, students are free to pursue their own educational interests and are invited to personally coordinate resources to further the exploration of their interests. As a school, we want to provide our students with as many opportunities and resources to pursue those interests - that’s where YOU come in. Some of our wonderful volunteers and "Subject Area Consultants" lending their time and talents to our school community.

Unique Benefits:
- An absolutely one-of-a-kind educational experience. Besides the Sudbury school in Ft. Lauderdale, there are no other models exactly like ours available in our area. All of our past staff, interns, and volunteers have shared how life-changing it has been for them to be part of this kind of paradigm and community.
- Being part of a unique oasis and a place of growth for young people, from the highly-academic student sick of "performing" to the struggling student who wants to be appreciated for who they are, not what their grades are. It is in many ways a counter-cultural and revolutionary stance that values children as persons deserving of respect.
