Partner with Learning Life

Learning Life welcomes conversations about possible partnership.  Here are some of the ways we consider partnering with other organizations for mutual benefit related to our three programs/communities: (1) the Democracy Learning Community (DLC) in the Washington DC area, and online internationally, (2) the Family Diplomacy Initiative (FDI) and (3) Citizen Diplomacy International (CDI):

  1. Provide your members or program alumni the benefit of Democracy & Diplomacy Community (DDC) membership, encompassing all three of our programs described above. In some cases, we provide partners with free or lower-cost DDC membership to help them develop their skills, knowledge and connections.
  2. Give selected members of your organization experience in international citizen diplomacy as volunteer Family Diplomats or Family Diplomacy Ambassadors.
  3. Take part in, or co-organize one of Learning Life’s regular events, such as an international Family Diplomacy Dialogue via Zoom, or in the Washington DC area, a Democracy Dinner.
  4. Co-publicize our respective programs on websites and/or social media.
  5. Provide relevant, free expertise or skill-building training in democracy or diplomacy to our community members and/or at our community events.
  6. Provide professional volunteers or student interns to support our research, marketing, planning, strategy, fundraising, etc.
  7. If you have an office, restaurant, church, meeting center, or other facility for events in or near Washington, DC: provide free or low-cost space for one of our community events, like our Democracy Dinners or Democracy Festival, in exchange for publicity and participation in that event.
  8. Recommend your best program alumni and/or staff to apply to serve on our Board of Advisors so they can gain leadership experience, develop their knowledge, and expand their professional network.
  9. Become a sponsor of our DLC, FDI or CDI communities.

To schedule a partnership conversation, please email us at email@learninglife.info.  Note that given our strategic priorities and limited resources, we do not respond or meet with all those who request partnership.
