Teach-A-Thon

To participate, sign up below!

For the Teach-A-Thon, we recruit business professionals, culinary professionals  and community leaders to teach in person in a classroom.  However, it’s not career day. Instead, each volunteer teaches a lesson in person or virtually. 

However, we highly encourage community leaders to step into the classroom for a lesson. You’ll be supported every step of the way and gain insight into public education.

By having business professionals teach actual content, we accomplish two goals:  Students see the subject matter as more important, especially as many professionals can explain real-world applications of the subject. In addition,the business people see into the classroom and discover why we need to support our public schools. As part of the program, business professionals will tell colleagues of their experience to fundraise and gain support for our public schools.
