Why should I join?
The more robust our network becomes, the more help members have when they face challenges and need support. The larger our network, the more leaders will take notice of the importance of joyful learning. We need a large and diverse network to bring out the creativity in ideas and expand our pool of shared resources. Plus, without you, there is no network.

Can I donate money to help forward the cause?
Good question! We are currently registered as a nonprofit Public Benefit corporation in California and are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so any monies you donate will be tax deductible to the extent of the relevant tax law. Someday we're hoping to actually figure out a way for you to donate money to us ... until then, thank you for your social support!
How else do you raise money to help forward the cause?
- Amazon - We're trying something that we'll continue if it doesn't feel too intrusive - let us know how you feel about it! We realized that there are a bunch of great books or other things we were suggesting people check out, so: "Joyful Learning Network is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com." That means that if you click a link from our site to Amazon and purchase anything within a specified period after clicking that link, we'll earn an advertising fee.
- Swag - Stay tuned for links to purchase JLN themed products!
