Join us in celebration of diversity making us stronger! Discover and learn from intersectional voices in the NJEA Consortium Area. Proudly supported by an NEA grant, we’re on a mission to put diversity and representation at the forefront of curriculum development.

Come as you are; you can find us at the top of Main Street. Learn how to get involved with the NJEA Consortium. Stay with us for a series of curated, illuminating workshops. Come back for Drag Queen Story Hour. Grab a book or three! In collaboration with BookSmiles, NJEA presents the “Banned on the Run” extravaganza, where over 10,000 often-challenged books will be provided for your home or classroom libraries. Together, let’s celebrate our state’s rich diversity!
