Our Structure & Culture

We have incorporated as a non-profit with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

We have designed, and continue to refine, structures in support of our culture, that is, how we want to treat each other, and not as an attempt to eliminate ambiguity, complexity and conflict, which we believe are part of a healthy culture. Some of what this looks like:

  • Creating more clarity around decision making, roles, responsibilities, expectations, and lines of communication between all community members - facilitators, parents, volunteers, teachers, and kids.

  • A process to ensure a certain degree of two-way alignment between facilitators and parents around expectations, as we make our best effort to ensure there is a good fit for everyone involved.

  • Opportunities for everyone to have a voice and make a positive contribution to the Hawk Hill community.

Here is what we expect of everyone at Hawk Hill:

  1. Respect and care for yourself.

  2. Respect and care for others.

  3. Respect and care for the physical and natural environment.

  4. Come ready to have fun, connect, learn, be creative, express yourself and be in community with others doing the same.

Hawk Hill is not a school. All children participating in Hawk Hill programs during the school year must be registered homeschoolers in the state of North Carolina, and parents are solely responsible for ensuring that all NC homeschooling requirements are met.
