Teach For America North Carolina

??BIG NEWS FOR TFA NC??? Official Statewide Proclamation Issued by NC Governor in Honor of 35th Anniversary: As we kick off our 35th Anniversary celebrating Teach For America North Carolina’s Legacy of Leadership, we are thrilled to have received an official proclamation from now former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper as one of his final acts in December of 2024. The proclamation highlights our organization’s decades-long statewide impact and celebrates the ongoing programmatic excellence that contributes to systemic changes in the field of educational equity.? As a longtime champion of Teach For America with an unwavering commitment to our state’s education system, we are honored by now former Governor Cooper’s support and encouragement. In 2022, our Executive Director, Dr. Monique Perry-Graves, was appointed by now former Governor Cooper to his bipartisan Task Force to Develop a Representative and Inclusive Vision for Education (DRIVE). This task force brought together diverse stakeholders to shape the future of public education in North Carolina and Dr. Perry-Graves represented nonprofit education advocacy, underscoring TFA NC’s commitment to inclusive and representative leadership. As Dr. Perry-Graves shared, “It is important that we continue to have strong partnerships with lawmakers and external stakeholders from all political parties so that we may achieve our mission of finding, developing, and supporting equity-oriented leaders in an effort to transform education and expand opportunity for all children. We know that we are stronger when we all work together, and our students, teachers, and communities benefit from the diverse coalition of educational champions.” Join us in celebrating our decades of impact by attending one of our One Day Breakfast Events and read the entirety of now former Governor Roy Cooper’s proclamation here: https://lnkd.in/eR-XycSi Be sure to secure your ticket ??? to join us at one of our upcoming One Day Breakfasts here: https://linktr.ee/tfa_nc #OneDayNC #35YearsOfImpact #35DaysForNC #Anniversary #NCED #TeachForAmerica

As a math teacher in Brooklyn, Yamilee Toussaint (NY ‘08) saw firsthand how many students felt disconnected from math. With a deep love for both dance and STEM, she set out to change that. She founded STEM From Dance, blending the creativity of movement with the power of technology to help girls see themselves as future innovators. Today, the program is transforming lives in nine cities across the U.S. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate Yamilée and all the women breaking barriers in STEM and every other field! ??????? #WomensHistoryMonth #STEMFromDance
