Celebrating AmeriCorps Week 2009 |
|
|
When Geoffrey Canada began building a groundbreaking new organization in the mid-1990s to break the cycle of poverty in Harlem, he needed a way to hire “the army we needed and could afford.” AmeriCorps offered him that army. His “Peacemakers,” as he termed the AmeriCorps members, were young adults, many from the neighborhood or places just like it. Some had college degrees, but others were in transition. Many people at the time thought these young people were part of the problem, but Canada saw them as the solution to his challenge. And they were welcomed into the public schools by teachers who were wary of outsiders but struggling to keep order in their classrooms. |
