For more than two years, United Way has worked to build partnerships, secure alternative teacher certification, as well as funding and placements needed to bring Teach for America back to Detroit. On May 4, 2010, that vision became reality as Teach for America announced its return to Detroit, bringing top college graduates to teach in some of the state's highest-need schools for the 2010-2011 school year.
 
But we didn't do it alone.
 
It is only because of your support that we can claim this victory. We would like to thank you for speaking out and for ensuring a brighter future for metro Detroit children!
 
As is always the case, this victory will not come without its detractors. Over the next week there will be much said in the press about Teach for America's return to Detroit - some positive, some not-so-positive.

We ask that you continue to stand strong for metro Detroit children and speak out in support of this monumental victory.
