Support a Brothers Teaching Scholar
Growing up, I didn’t expect myself to go to college. I grew up from a family where high school was kind of the end goal and it was hard for me to imagine me up here where I am now.
I can’t help but be thankful for what the program has given me.”

Brothers Teaching aims to grow the diversity of men certified and working as teachers in Illinois schools. Brothers Teaching prepares Black and Brown men for K-12 teaching careers as they pursue undergraduate and advanced degrees in education and become teachers.
