Call Me MISTER
A Scholarship Teaching Program
The Call Me MISTER program is a highly acclaimed program designed to increase the pool of available teachers from a broader, more diverse background.
Program participants are selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The Call Me MISTER program is contributing to the talent pool of excellent teachers by identifying and supporting young men who are literally "touching the future" by teaching children. This successful model seeks to reverse the lack of young men who are leaders, role models, and teachers in communities.
