Teach for America is one of America’s largest and strongest organizations. Making an impact in education for children living in poverty, it is both an honor and a privilege to be chosen as a corp member. Based upon the themes that “Poverty is not Destiny," Teach for America chooses recent college graduates to start teaching for a minimum of two years in a low-income community. It is in this program these teachers create an impact that works to close the education gap in cities across America.Ohio Kappa Michelle Tufano was selected to be a 2012 Teach for America corp member. Michelle, a senior journalism and English student, and former Vice President of Membership holds a special place in the hearts of Ohio Kappa. Intensive summer training, career development, and an increased understanding of the program and its workings are in Michelle’s future.
Michelle has worked very hard for this opportunity, and has the support of her sisters wherever it may lead her. As for now, after graduating, she will be headed to Charlotte, North Carolina to teach high school English.
We wish her the best of luck and will be sending both our love and our support from Cincinnati.
