Newly Welcomed Cohort Members Share Their Thoughts on PLACE

"It was the best opportunity for me as far as my passions, and I really felt this warm reception in all of my interactions with PLACE."
"It’s a program that I’ve been interested in since high school. I think it will be the best in supporting my growth as a community member, teacher, and student."
"PLACE Corps is a perfect fit for what I want to be doing not only in the next two years, but for the rest of my life: teaching and building community."
"The missions of the PLACE Corps program will help me achieve my goals because it is similar to my educational and spiritual philosophy through its emphasis on the importance of the pursuit of knowledge, the ability to work collaboratively with students that you could relate to, and focus on continuing our relationship with God through deep self-reflection."
"PLACE Corps allows me to be an active element in educational reform in a supportive Catholic environment."
