The school year may be winding down, but Victra – the largest authorized Verizon retailer – isn’t forgetting about educators. Victra has partnered with American educator Ron Clark to send at least 100 educators nationwide to participate in highly acclaimed immersive educational training at the world-renowned Ron Clark Academy.
The Ron Clark Academy is the selected non-profit partner for Victra Cares, a program created to support charitable initiatives and organizations, giving back to the communities where Victra employees live and work. Past program partners include the USO, Feeding America and Building Homes for Heroes.
With over 100,000 educators trained so far, the Ron Clark Academy provides educators with the tools they need to transform learning environments into ones filled with passion, creativity and authenticity – where their students will thrive.
“Empowering educators is at the heart of transforming the future of education. Together with Victra, we are providing an incredible opportunity for trailblazing teachers across the country to experience transformative training here at the Ron Clark Academy,” said Ron Clark. “This partnership will help unlock potential, bringing opportunities for teachers to look at things from a new angle to help their students thrive and reach their full potential in and out of the classroom.”
Victra is inviting the public to submit nominations for educators in their community that they feel deserve and would benefit from participating in this incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The nomination deadline is set for June 30, 2023, after which the top 100 nominees will be announced. A committee of Victra and RCA employees will then narrow down the top 50 nominees (plus a guest in education of their choice) who will be offered a trip to attend the professional development experience at the academy. Winners will be officially announced in October.
Victra intends to raise enough donations to send two educators from every state to support this nationwide initiative. You can contribute toward the $300,000 fundraising goal by donating at the checkout in-store or visiting Victra’s website at https://ronclarkacademy.com/Victra/. Donations will cover travel, lodging, and event expenses for the selected educators.
