2016 Summer Partner Organizations
What is the process?
Our fellows are corps members or alum of Teach For America in the Louisiana Delta. Our organization recruits a diverse group of leaders with a record of achievement who work to expand educational opportunity, starting by teaching for two years in a low-income community. Our fellows have taught from 1-3 years in communities in the Northeast Louisiana parishes of East Carroll, Madison, Tensas, and Concordia. They bring with them various experience, innovative ideas, and commitment to their communities, and they would be strong partners in the work your organization is currently involved with. |
