Thank You For Your Support

Teach For America St. Louis Region is so grateful for our existing supporters. All gifts help our effort to recruit, select, train and support corps members and alumni.

Partner Spotlight

Along with stakeholder-level investments in Teach For America since 2006, Maritz employees band together annually to fulfill the school supply wish lists for our teachers. Learn more through the video A Heartwarming Story of Corporate and Employee Support.

The support doesn't stop there.  In 2010, Teach For America and Maritz collaborated further to align our common goals for education, by putting our expertise to work in the classroom.  Maritz professionals partnered with teachers to create motivation and incentive programs that help students reach their full potential.

Event Spotlight

Since our founding in 2002, National Board Member and local stakeholder Greg Wendt and his wife Lisa have hosted an annual holiday party bringing together corps members, alumni, and supporters to celebrate the season and get to know each other. Fellow National Board Member and local champion of education Maxine Clark gives each guest a holiday Build-A-Bear to show appreciation for the roles each of us play in creating excellent educational opportunities for the children of St. Louis.
