Updates on the More Than Me Academy

By Katie Meyler | Project Leader

The girls have been taking computer, crocheting, and art classes after school. It’s because of you that they are able to have these extracurricular activities and a place to go after the school day ends.

We're happy to report that construction on the More Than Me Academy is almost complete! We are excited to open the doors to the MTM Academy in September.

We also just released our application for our 2013 Fellowship Program. In the next couple months, we will be recruiting eight passionate, entrepreneurial fellows to help run the MTM Academy for the 2013-2014 school year. In addition to teaching at the Academy alongside a Liberian teacher, each fellow will take on a supplementary role to ensure that the Academy and MTM’s projects on the ground run smoothly. Those positions include:

  1. Grant Partners Fellow
  2. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Fellow
  3. Communications/ Digital Media Fellow
  4. Business Development Fellow
  5. IT/Technology Fellow
  6. Pedagogical Fellow
  7. Creative Development Fellow
  8. Finance/Procurement Fellow

This is an exciting time for More Than Me. Fellows will play a crucial role in guiding the vision of MTM and giving the girls the best education possible. We plan to double the number of girls we support by the end of 2013! Thank you for your continued support, we couldn't do our work without you. Here are some recent photos of the Academy’s construction progress and what our girls have been up to.
