About our programs

What programs does LJL offer?

We have two options: A program for individual teachers and caregivers, and a program for schools.

For educators and families:

the Little Justice Leaders Digital Membership Hub is a subscription that will help you talk about and engage in social justice issues with your preschool-6th grade learners.

In the membership, you will find resources that will guide you to have conversations with your kids about these issues in an age-appropriate way. You'll also connect with other educators and caregivers who care about social justice. Learn more and sign up here.

For schools and districts

When your school or district joins the Little Justice Leaders Equitable Schools Program, your entire school community gains access to our preschool-6th grade comprehensive social justice curriculum, in-depth professional development, and school resources we don't offer anywhere else. Learn more and apply here.

When will the programs re-open to new members?

How does it work?

When you join the Little Justice Leaders Digital Membership Hub, you gain immediate access to our digital community site.

We accept a limited number of schools each year. Learn more here (for schools and districts).

Is this for parents, teachers, or school leaders?

The Digital Membership Hub is designed for both parents and teachers! And not just parents and teachers... If you have elementary-aged kids in your life, our community is for you. Our resources are designed to be used with all kids - whether they're your students, kids, nieces and nephews, grandkids, students at afterschool or summer programs, part of religious or community groups, camp members, and more. They're also perfect for homeschooling!

The Equitable Schools Program is designed for school and district leaders who are looking for a full-school approach to social justice.

Why should we teach kids about social justice?

We all want to let kids be kids, but the reality is, our little ones are exposed to social justice topics all the time without us even knowing about it. Whether it's from a friend in the neighborhood, an older sibling, or social media, kids are taking in messages about social justice all the time. If you aren't helping them navigate this learning, kids can develop fear, confusion, bias, and even hatred. When you do talk to kids about these topics, they learn to value diversity, ask questions, and speak up for what is right.

What is included when I join?

In the Digital Membership Hub, you'll find lesson plans, activities, book guides, and other resources to talk to kids about social justice. You'll also get exclusive access to learning events, webinars, and trainings to learn from education and activist experts. Most importantly, you'll connect with a community of like-minded families and classrooms to learn, grow, and support each other. With these resources at your fingertips, you can feel comfortable talking about the theme, even if you have no experience with a particular topic!

Schools in the Equitable Schools Program will gain access to comprehensive resources - including curriculum, training, and community. The program is designed to support your school in building a school culture rooted in social justice.

Will the content be age-appropriate for preschool and elementary?

These are sensitive issues. We get it. Our resources are created specifically for preschool-6th graders by education experts, and our priority is to ensure they are age-appropriate. Our activities allow you to talk about the issues at the level you feel comfortable with – and no more. Go as deep or stay as surface-level as you want. You know your learners best, and you know what is appropriate for them right now. Remember, you can always come back to the resources later when you feel they are ready to dive deeper. 

How can I use the resources?

There are so many ways to use the resources provided in our programs. Some will primarily use the lesson plans as a way to save time and bring in trustworthy, done-for-you social justice lessons. Some will use the community to share resources, ask questions, and build meaningful connections. Others will show up for webinars and training events to continue learning. You can take a lesson and turn it into a monthly thematic unit, or you can set aside a 30-minute block to do a quick social justice unit. Even less time? Grab a 10-minute activity from our 10-minute activities bank. It's designed to be flexible to work for you and your needs.

What types of social justice themes do you cover?

Our resources cover a wide range of social justice themes, such as anti-racism, feminism, disabilities, immigration, LGBTQ+ identities, religious diversity, and so much more. Here are some examples of themes we've recently covered:

  • Climate Change
  • Refugee Experiences
  • Animal Protection
  • Celebrating Neurodiversity
  • Civic Engagement
  • Black Changemakers
  • Caring For Our Mental Health
  • Ocean Conservation

  • Fighting For What Is Right
  • Indigenous Resistance Movements
  • Digital Media Literacy
  • Colorism


We always love to hear your suggestions and recommendations about what themes to include! If you have suggestions, email Shelby at Shelby@LittleJusticeLeaders.com.

What if there are certain topics I don't want to teach or my school can't teach about?

We get it. Sometimes, you might feel your learners just aren't ready to learn about a certain topic. Other times, you're restricted by laws, regulations, or policies. With our resources, you can take what you need and leave the rest!

How do I know that the content created by Little Justice Leaders is accurate and trustworthy?

This is such an important question because you should be careful about who you get your social justice content from. Here's how we make sure our materials are accurate, diverse, and rooted in lived experience:

1. We work with educator-activists who are fighting for justice AND have lived experience on the topic. So for example, if our resource is about disabilities, we'll work with disabled activists to create the content.

2. We work with multiple content leaders. Even within any identity group, there is a huge amount of diversity in thought and experience. We work with multiple content leaders to ensure we're representing a diverse array of perspectives within the community.

3. We draw on multiple resources for support, and we point our subscribers to those additional resources as well.

4. We partner with some of the most well-known and well-respected activists, educators, and changemakers around. Check out our about page to learn about some of our incredible partners and read what they have to say about our work.

5. We're open to feedback! We don't think we're experts on every single social justice topics (nobody is!). If we missed the mark, we invite our community to let us know, and we'll do everything we can to fix it.

What if I can't afford the program?

We try our best to make our membership affordable, but we know it can still be out of reach for some families or educators. With our resources, you're getting knowledge from some of the top social justice experts in the world, broken down into easy-to-follow activities and lessons. A lot of time, effort, and thought goes into creating each resource and curating our community, and we care about compensating everyone who works on the materials well. If the price is out of reach for you, please follow along on our Instagram and email list where we give out free resources regularly. You can also email us at contact@littlejusticeleaders.com to discuss pricing options. We don't want price to be a barrier for anybody to get this content!
