May 2, 2025 — The California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF), a non-profit based in the Central Valley, has launched its “Educators of Impact” campaign to celebrate and honor the invaluable contributions of local educators. This initiative aims to recognize the dedication and hard work of individuals who make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, including classroom teachers, after-school staff, and other education professionals in our community and beyond.
