This is a guest blogpost by our talented Tufts University Tisch Summer Fellow, Michelle Nguyen, who conducted research with Boston's Learn 2 Teach, Teach 2 Learn program. Annually, our teen youth teachers teach 700+ children at over 25 community organizations. We have high expectations that our youth always exceed. As our program name suggests, we also believe that learning is deepened when youth are engaged in teaching others.
I've been an education organizer for Learn 2 Teach, Teach 2 Learn for a dozen years. Many of our youth have moved on to college and beyond and sometimes I lose track of them. So, late one night I decided to google "Learn 2 Teach, Teach 2 Learn" to see what came up.
