The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to provide a third year of support for Teach for America in its mission of recruiting the most highly sought-after recent college graduates from the nation’s top-tier schools to commit to two years of teaching in Halifax, Northampton, Vance, Warren and Bertie counties. Funds for this project will be used to assist with the recruiting, selection, training, placement and ongoing support for 20 new corps members working in the northeastern counties of rural North Carolina.
