The ⁠"Tickets for Teachers"⁠ initiative was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: utilize unused event tickets to benefit Durham educators. Many community members have tickets they can’t use, whether due to illness or scheduling conflicts. By donating these tickets, educators and their families can enjoy local events that might otherwise be out of reach. This initiative not only prevents tickets from going to waste, but also fosters community spirit by providing educators with enjoyable experiences.

Hear from Matt Sears, the mind behind this initiative for ⁠RootEd in DPS⁠, in this latest episode of Office Hours.
