The main teachers and mentors of Finding the Good are part of a learning community, not a teaching institution. Students and teachers learn together. We use the term mentor to refer to the teachers who are with the Finding the Good students on a regular basis, and also those who we meet on our travels to interview and learn from. Both types of mentors are the kind of people who have lived full lives, who are passionate about learning and sharing what they learn and what they know. They care about humanity and life on earth, and understand that teaching, like parenting, is a sacred calling. They know that it is the highest responsibility and the greatest honor to teach and learn with young people.

In letters to the schools, Volume II, J. Krishnamurti wrote, “Our…intent is to bring about a good, intelligent, extremely capable, free human being. This is my intent as a dedicated teacher, and it should be yours, too, as parents. It should be the intent of all humanity, for we are all concerned... The future is our responsibility, so this is our immediate problem. My problem and yours is to cultivate the comprehensive intelligence from which all other things flow.”

In his lifetime, Krishnamurti founded schools in England, India and the U.S. that are still in operation today. He knew that for society to change, education had to change first to an approach that nurtured the whole human -- teachers and students alike. We fully embrace these values at Finding the Good.

In addition to teachers, there are between two and six positions per semester for student interns – college students who are fulfilling an internship as part of their studies, or independently. This learning and teaching opportunity gives interns the chance to participate with a high level of responsibility and in-life career training.
