get involved
We want to see a million flowers blooming - communities all over the world who use barter-based folkschools to create a greater sense of connection, resilience and interdependence through skills sharing. Here are some ways you can get involved and keep this community growing.
Over the past nine years, we’ve seen firsthand the impact and value of our model in building strong, connected communities across diverse regions. We believe that, with the right support, other communities can successfully launch their own LifeSchoolHouse chapters and benefit from this approach.
Thanks to the support of the Province of Nova Scotia and the Support4Culture Program, we are able to offer a small benefit package to three selected volunteers. These Regional Champions will be individuals who live in—or maintain strong connections to—areas where LifeSchoolHouse chapters are not yet active, helping us extend and deepen our roots.
We invite you to review the information below and share your expression of interest by filling out the form below before July 23th, 2026 (11.59pm): https://forms.gle/xKdxYnvNiPr4c8E49
If you have questions, please email us at connect@lifeschoolhouse.com.
Please share this opportunity with someone you believe would be a great fit for the role.
Teach a class/ Become a pop-up Host

Become a member of our cooperative
LifeSchoolHouse Annual Membership
For those who believe in community-rooted learning, shared resources, and collective care.
A LifeSchoolHouse membership is for individuals who want to actively support and steward a non-profit cooperative grounded in belonging, participation, and sustainability. It is for people who value local wisdom, skill-sharing, and stronger, more connected communities.
Membership is not required to take part in LifeSchoolHouse programs or events. Our workshops and activities remain open and accessible to the wider public.
Membership offers a deeper level of involvement: supporting the long-term resilience of the cooperative through annual contribution, shared stewardship, and ongoing connection to our mission and values.
Members participate in governance, receive updates and annual reports, and engage in shaping the future direction of LifeSchoolHouse through member conversations and the Annual General Meeting.
If you want to help sustain this work over time and be part of its ongoing stewardship, membership is one meaningful way to do so.
