PROVIDENCE – Two local educators will be honored tomorrow evening with the Pembroke Center Associates’ Leadership for Change through Education Award.
• H. Terri Adelman, executive director of Volunteers in Public Schools, a local nonprofit that aims to ensure that all students in the city’s pubic schools have an equal chance of success. Under Adelman’s leadership, ViPS has grown to provide educational support services and individualized assistance, both during and after school, to 10,000 students per year.
• Margot Stern Strom, founder and executive director of Facing History and Ourselves, a nonprofit organization that provides resources to teachers around the world to help them lead students in a critical examination of history. The group’s efforts have included providing the tools to teach students the history of the Armenian genocide and providing digital storytelling technology and training to Boston public schools.
Strom and Adelman will be honored in a special ceremony tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the List Art Center Auditorium, 64 College St., where brief comments by each recipient will be followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public.
