Since 1991 Aaren Perry has provided action resources to respond to the needs of teachers. Through public-private partnerships, his company, Education Action Resources produces programs that affirm diversity and nonviolence and celebrate the inherent healing and social change powers of writing.

Perry has worked with thousands of students, teachers, parents, community-based audiences and organizations in the U.S and abroad. Together participants develop skills and strategies that create long-lasting relationships with the arts. Perry helps individuals, teams, and organizations identify and secure the educational resources needed to succeed. The programs link learning experiences to real-world social content through coaching, training programs, exhibits, classroom projects, intergenerational and multimedia programs.

EAR Programs include group writing retreats, classes, immersion projects. The EAR Writing Nonviolence I and II projects in 2005 were evaluated by the PA Humanities Counsel as the best such workshop the evaluator had ever seen. Perry was ranked as "Excellent" as an instructor at the 2007 Philadelphia Writers Conference. EAR has successfully collaborated with partners such as Project Respect, the Department of Labor, Whale Camp, Philadelphia Writing Partnerships, and many other colleges, conferences and writing centers.
