Contributing Partners: The Community Teachers Initiative
Peter Greeman founded the Community Teachers Initiative, now run by his son Tim and daughter-in-law Paulene.
CTI provides scholarships for high-need, low-income, urban-environment students to become teachers to those from similar circumstances. Founder Peter Greeman’s son Tim and daughter-in-law Paulene have founded the Peter Greeman Scholarship for deserving students.
