My Flying University needs your help to create online lessons that unpack current events and uncover the stories history tried to erase.
My Flying University (MFU) is a Bloomington-based nonprofit dedicated to helping learners make sense of the world through critical thinking, media literacy, and historical awareness. We believe that when knowledge is under attack, learning itself becomes an act of resistance.
We’re looking for educators, instructional designers, subject matter experts, and those with relevant lived experiences to help us build digital lessons in WordPress for three of our core projects:
Read Between the Headlines, where we analyze current events from multiple perspectives to reveal the deeper social, political, and psychological forces shaping our world
Explore Silenced Stories, which spotlights people and movements whose voices and victories were erased or distorted by history
The War on Education, which focuses on the latest attacks, gag orders, and other news about K-12 and higher education
Connect With Your Community, which focuses on the history and current issues of Bloomington, IN, and the state of Indiana as a whole
No prior e-learning experience is required. If you’re comfortable with technology (or willing to learn) we’ll show you how to build engaging lessons using the templates and tools we provide. We’ll help you grow your digital skills while working alongside others who care deeply about education and justice.
This is an ongoing, flexible, remote volunteer opportunity that is suitable for anyone who wants to help make truth, context, and history accessible to all… and for those who carry the spirit of Bloomington’s creative, curious, and activist heart wherever they are.
You can sign up here, or, if you prefer to remain anonymous, you can complete a volunteer application on our website, www.myflyinguniversity.org. Please email info@myflyinguniversity.org if you have any questions or need any assistance.
