Educating the youth in America in preparation for the global economy can be a challenging and rewarding experience. Moreover, if you are a child in a low-income community, the challenges are exponential. I recently read about an organization that is doing great work to enlist the best and the brightest teachers, "Teach for America." This organization is committed to educating our youth, and helping them to prepare for a prosperous future. But guess what, they need ALL of our help! Conversely, like the great educational reformer, Horace Mann (in 1872) said, "if you do nothing for humanity, you should be ashamed to die."
If this sounds like something that you are interested in pursuing, check out the following 'Teach for America' website: http://www.teachforamerica.org/our-mission/enlisting-committed-individuals
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"
Make a difference. I'm just saying...
