The Erin Grimm School takes people from immobilization to contribution, and it lives out its mission of facilitating wellness and contribution both online and also in Seattle, WA, the ancestral lands of the Duwamish people. You can join us in paying rent at Real Rent Duwamish. We have partners in Africa, Latin America, Palestine, and throughout the United States and teach languages and culture.
Erin’s work has been featured in the Seattle Times, The Wesleyan Theological Journal, Churches for Middle East Peace, Slate, and more, and she has been a presence in community spaces and research settings across the West Coast and even Moscow, Russia, where she studied on a Fulbright. Whether in the classroom, faith space, or disability and inclusion workshop, her work is underscored by the belief that our personal stories can propel justice and peace efforts. Erin strives to form connections across silos as a neurodivergent activist-scholar and educator who has authored three books.
