Sometimes a team has to come together for some relationship building and good food! It's hard to believe that all our incredible work is done through just 14 people (over half alumni), but that is the strength of Teach For America! DCVA All the Way!

Honored to have worked with and be supported by CityTutor DC as our newest corps members provided summer tutoring to students during their practicum training. This additional, targeted and personalized instruction makes all the difference!
CityTutor DC supported Teach For America D.C. and Virginia's tutoring efforts this summer. They tutored more than 250 students across three sites in DC. Recently, we observed their summer tutoring work at Meridian PCS. Across every tutoring group, we saw outstanding evidence of strong relationships between students and tutors! After one tutor helped a student convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, the student sat up, smiled, and exclaimed, “I knew I could do it!” Thanks to summer tutoring, students will start the school year with stronger academic foundations and more confidence. #HighlightingHIT #HITinAction #DCHIT #DCHITInitiative

Teach For America D.C. and Virginia reposted this
Bringing holistic wellness, food access, and sustainable community programming to underserved families in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Join me for a summer special of reduced cost health & wellness coaching sessions! The framework for our coaching is me not as an expert, but more so as a partner for you in supporting your own self- determined wellness goals. We can talk about a range of matters that affect one's wellbeing, including yet beyond the physical and emotional. For example, career, daily habits, hobbies ect...Essentially, anything that you want to work on when it comes to your own sense of feeling holistically well. Encouraged for all but highly encouraged for those who normally would not have access to wellness coaching. Individuals, families and organizations welcomed. Please share widely and many thanks!
