We are looking forward to working with you, your family, and your children! Please read and fill out the following registration page for Global Citizens Little Pods. Little Pods is developmentally appropriate for children 4-9 years of age. We are excited to see new friendships created and old friendships strengthened in local Little Pods that ripple out beyond this experience.

The program fosters mindful, empathetic and connected children who gain a sense of community, resilience and participation in a developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed environment with commitments to safety, voice/choice, peer support/collaboration, trustworthiness, and cultural humility.

Please note that our Global Citizens teachers are available to lead your Little Pod Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, after 2pm PT. Pods will run mid-September to mid-December.

Please fill out one form per family. There is room to register up to three children on one form. If you have more than three children, just let us know! For logistical helping registering your child(ren), please contact Stacey Martino Rivera stacey@iactivism.org.

Commitment to diverse Little Pods

Each Little Pod will intentionally be made up of 5-7 local children representing the diversity of their neighborhood or community. We are encouraging these online Little Pods to form across differences in identity within the pod. In holding the intention of diversity, we offer the following recommendations when forming pods:

Avoid creating a monocultural Pod. Be aware of your potential for preference and bias
- Who is missing and who is present from this Pod?
- Is there an opportunity to have Pods expand friendships and deepen the sense of community?
- Have you considered including a family that does not share your socioeconomic class?
- Have you made an effort to ensure that your Pod reflects the depth of diversity within the greater Los Angeles Area?

Consider that most children of color have had an incident of feeling targeted at some point during their education. Be careful to not create a similar situation for them in the Pod by including more than one family of color.

Consider a Public/Private School Pod Partnership in your neighborhood that might create lasting relationships beyond the need for Pods.

iACT is available to support this commitment to creating pods with a rich tapestry of lived experience. iACT team member Stacey Martino Rivera stacey@iactivism.org is available if you need support forming a Little Pod.
