Wendy Kopp had an idea. She wanted to borrow a tactic from other industries: if she could convince students fresh out of college to commit to teaching for two years in communities that desperately needed teachers, she could really make an impact in education and broaden the perspectives of the young adults before they move into their planned careers. Thus, Teach for America was born. Today, Wendy has broadened her goals, and co-founded Teach for All to impact education worldwide.
Wendy shares how her parents’ commitment to her education impacted her, and how local communities — not necessary federal governments — are at the core of driving change.
