We are thrilled to announce the second cohort of Seed Teachers scholars. Our Seed Teachers program works for a more equitable public education system with teachers who reflect the students they serve. Our second cohort was recognized at the Degrees of Change office in downtown Tacoma in June:
Jasmine Broom
Lincoln High School
Sophia Czar
Stadium High School
Ellie Elliott
Franklin Pierce High School
Rae Fox
Mount Tahoma High School
Josh Hernandez-Alvarez
Henry Foss High School
Dessie Hildreth
Washington High School
Prince Malikai Jamerson
Science and Math Institute
Alex Little

Tyonna Mosley
Dr Dolores Silas High School
Kate Tofilau

Scholars will receive an exceptional scholarship package, cohort-based support and mentoring, and paid work opportunities throughout their college experience. We are excited for the impact these amazing young people will have as homegrown, community-driven educators.
The second cohort is currently in pre-college training under the mentorship of director Tara Yi. They will step on campus at Pacific Lutheran University this fall as college freshman.
