Teach for America Alums: Up to a Lot of Good
June 4th, 2008

We’ve recently learned about IdeaBlob, a website that asks people to submit their ideas, and then vote on others. Each month, the top vote-getter wins $10,000 to advance his or her idea. Which is a great idea. Someone should submit it to IdeaBlob. Oh, wait…

Anyhow, two Teach for America alums have proposed their ideas - both of which are particularly awesome.
Elizabeth Devlin has proposed an idea called Girl Talk: Read to Achieve, which will create after-school books clubs for at-risk girls. She needs your votes to win, but also wants to know about books with strong female characters.

Efe Osagie has founded Lead Now Fellows, which will reform Nigeria’s education system by recruiting college grads to teach. He’s got some questions up for advice about sponsorship and dealing with skepticism - let him know if you can help.

 So go vote. These ideas need funding!
