Racially diverse teachers uplift all children -- especially students of color, who often have not had the privilege of having a teacher who looks like them. That is what Grow Your Own Teachers is all about. We fully support our teacher candidates to graduate with their teaching license so they can in turn elevate young people. Your generous donation today will go on for generations of classrooms.

Edith Mendez, GYO Graduate 2020

“...growing up, I didn’t see a lot of teachers that looked like me and it’s really hard being a first-generation college student. In GYO, I knew there were going to be other people that had similar stories as myself and together we could help each other out to graduate.”

--Edith, 2020 GYO Graduate
