Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation

The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation provides educational programming and resources to students, teachers, and life-long learners, connecting them to 17th and 18th century early Virginia and United States history, its peoples, events, and legacies. Through various educational methodologies, we aim to instill historical empathy, assisting learners in recognizing and appreciating the rich and varied cultural convergence that formed the United States. Programming designed to engage in conversation and critical thinking allows learners to draw on their own experiences while creating a shared understanding of the complexities of the past and creating compassionate citizens who will have a positive impact on the future.
