MTR Information Session
Urban Education is the single greatest social justice and civil rights issue in America today. We believe that urban students are in great need. We believe that educational injustice exists along economic and racial lines for these students. We believe that these students deserve an opportunity for an excellent education, regardless of which school they attend or what neighborhood they call home. We believe, that all students can learn and all students - as those made in the image of God - have an amazing potential for living this life with purpose. And we believe, that a career that seeks to meet the educational needs of these children is a worthy and noble calling.
Please join MTR staff, current residents, and a Memphis City Schools representative for an information session Monday, December 21, 2009 from 4PM-5PM. We will share our history, mission, and vision for the future of urban education here in Memphis.
See our event page for location and map.
