My Nonprofit Reviews

As an AmeriCorps VISTA, I was lucky enough to dedicate part of my service towards supporting APS. Melissa and Christine fostered my passion for education, and introduced me to the world of education policy/reform. Working closely with them for over two years, I witnessed firsthand the deep impact that APS had across the Tampa Bay & Orlando communities. From hosting Community Conversations to Parent University, Melissa & Christine have always done a tremendous job of bringing people of all backgrounds together. It was not out of the ordinary to watch students, parents, teachers, gov't officials, community advocates, etc. come together, share ideas and collaborate - as peers. Simply put, the work the Alliance for Public Schools does is inspiring.
Though I have since found a career outside of the non-profit sector, the skills I developed with this organization are invaluable. More importantly, I will always be an advocate to our public schools, and have Melissa and Christine to thank for this!
