Mission:
* Vision - It is the goal of West Marin Free Skool to create independent, money-less communities made of individuals who are connected by similar interests and passions.It is our aim within these communities to live in a way that is responsible, creative, and joyful; and within our natural means and resources.
* Free Education - West Marin Free Skool provides access to non-authoritarian and free education, empowering individuals through an open invitation to teach and to learn. WMFS promotes classes that focus on practical skill building, survival, sustainability, arts, music, communication, health, recreation, critical thinking and creative expression. West Marin Free Skool classes encourage and actively support personal growth by working within a format that rewards self-motivation, creativity and curiosity.
* Rebuilding Social Fabric - West Marin Free Skool invites us to reflect on the factors that shape our daily lives and determine our real wealth. This creates opportunities to pursue true interests, passions and talents while building meaningful relationships. By consciously removing money from this exchange, we shift our motivations from monetary compensation to a more fulfilling definition of giving and receiving. This generous approach to daily life broadens both our social circles and our minds, thus strengthening the fabric of our social networks and wholly enriching our lives.

2012-01-10 "Free to be you and me; CAREERS AND EDUCATION: From self defense to GED prep, no-fee courses for the 99 percent" by Caitlin [http://www.sfbg.com/print/2012/01/10/free-be-you-and-me]: Some education strengthens your mind — some education strengthens your soul.

2012-01-10 "Free to be you and me; CAREERS AND EDUCATION: From self defense to GED prep, no-fee courses for the 99 percent" by Caitlin [http://www.sfbg.com/print/2012/01/10/free-be-you-and-me]: At many of CCSF's 10-plus campuses across the city, you can take courses absolutely free of charge — and sign up for them at any point in the semester. What can you learn? GED prep, introductory construction skills, economics, US contemporary writers, and tai chi, to name but a few of the offerings. How has this vast resource network escaped the chopping block in California's beleaguered public school system? We almost don't want to press the issues — let's just sign up while these courses still exist.

This marijuana laboratory offers intermittent classes for the cannabis food newbie or vet that teach about quality control, presentation, and applicable regulations.
