Education Committee - General Society of Mayflower Descendants
We are descendants of the
Pilgrims who journeyed on the Mayflower in 1620. Our committee's purpose is
to facilitate the connection between knowledge-seekers and historically
accurate information, between educators and materials, between youth and
adults.
What we do
We act as a hub for information.
We interact with teachers, the media, the membership and the general public.
We create and facilitate educational projects. We link members of the State
Societies working towards similar goals.
About the committee
The Mission of the Education
Committee of the General Society of the Mayflower Descendants is:
|
For our membership: to provide
opportunities to the young and adult members of the Society to exchange,
create and obtain educational information relating to our Mayflower
ancestry. |
|
For the State Societies of the
General Society: to advise, assist, publicize and connect the Societies as
they develop their own educational projects. |
|
For educators on all levels: to
provide instructional materials that will enhance the study of the
Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. |
|
For the general public, the
media, other organizations and members of our own Society: to facilitate
access to and the exchange of historically accurate information regarding
the voyage of the Mayflower, the passengers and the first years of
Plymouth Colony. |
|
For the Society website: to add
to the General Society website an Education Committee link with both
access to accurate Mayflower-related educational materials, courses, and
opportunities and also the open interchange of ideas and information. |
