Fred Rogers first looked into the camera and asked us to be his neighbor more than fifty years ago, and the impact of his legacy still resonates today. Educators, clinicians, and practitioners in a range of child- and family-serving fields consistently turn to Fred Rogers’ legacy to inform their practice, and Fred’s wisdom continues to inspire families and children’s helpers.
In the summer of 2025, the Fred Rogers Institute is pleased to convene its third annual Work of Fred Rogers Conference. This conference will be practice-focused and practice-informed. Some questions we hope to explore together include:
- How does Fred Rogers’ work inform practice in classrooms, communities, and child- and youth-focused spaces?
- What can adults draw from Fred Rogers’ work as we seek to be children’s helpers in our world today?
- How does current research align with the legacy of Fred Rogers?This conference will be of interest to all researchers interested in the study of Fred Rogers and educators who work in the direct service of children and/or families, or who provide support to those who work directly with children or families.
