About Us

Ring Shout Foundation is a nonprofit community-based educational institution dedicated to the comprehensive development of individuals and the permanent strengthening of communities through transformative education, physical development, economic sovereignty, food self-sufficiency, and vocational training.

We believe that the fully educated person is academically literate, physically capable, economically sovereign, nutritionally self-sufficient, and equipped to build, defend, and sustain the life and community they deserve.

We operate with a Transformative Community Education philosophy—
Every program is a classroom.
Every skill is a curriculum.
Every participant is a complete human being deserving a complete education.

A classroom with students and adults engaged in indoor and outdoor learning activities related to gardening and food systems, with large windows revealing a garden outside.
People participating in a weaving class in a spacious, well-lit room with large windows, green walls, and wooden accents, including a fireplace and shelves with yarn. Some are working on weaving looms, while others are knitting or working on a sewing machine.

“..the deliberate return of someone formed by this neighborhood, carrying something real back to it.”
