Dear Friends of Match Corps,
We hope that your 2014-15
academic year has gotten off to a strong start! Here at Match, we are
already deep into the swing of the college application process for our
graduating class, gathering data on our students'
first six weeks of learning, and of course, recruiting your
soon-to-be-graduates to work with our students next year through the
Match Corps.
We're writing to ask that
you could forward the article below to any senior you know who may be
interested in spending a year in Boston working with inner-city students
in a high-performing, high-poverty school.
The article is from Detroit's Bridge Magazine.
It features current high school Corps member and Match Teacher Resident
Lindsey Holmes. Ms. Holmes grew up in Detroit, and graduated from
Spelman College
in the spring of 2014. She is training to be high school English
teacher, and hopes to open her own school, in Detroit, someday. You can
go directly to the article here.
We are accepting
applications for the 2015-16 programs, so we'd really appreciate if you
can spread the word to your students who are graduating soon! The
article might be a way to spark their interest. Students
can apply here.
If you're not very familiar with the Match Corps and our Teacher Residency option, you can learn more at
www.matcheducation.org/match-corps-program.
Sincerely,
Sara Colón & the Match Recruiting Team
