Full Circle

On Saturday, we received a volunteer application from a ScriptEd alum for the first time ever.  This Fall, Earl Clifton will join ScriptEd as a volunteer at his alma mater, Harlem Village Academy High School. He will team teach with some of the volunteers who first taught him how to code, including Andrew Ingraham and Megan Taylor.

I wrote about Earl and his coding raps last week.  Earl is now interning at a tech startup and will soon become a full-time web developer.

I frequently say that I'll know that ScriptEd is successful when things come full circle: when the students we serve come back to us as volunteers.

It's happening, and it feels amazing.

This is a photo of ScriptEd's first class of Summer Interns (2013) that sits on my desk.  Earl is in the middle!
