ANNOUNCING OUR NEW AMERICORPS VISTA, TERRANIE
Terranie Sims is proud to serve as DCAN’s newest Americorps VISTA. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Howard University majoring in Psychology and minoring in Speech-Language Pathology and Spanish. During her time as an undergraduate, she studied abroad in Costa Rica and interned with several organizations in the educational realm. She also volunteered in DPSCD elementary schools, high schools and adult education centers through the Howard University Alternative Spring Break program. 

Prior to joining DCAN she served as a Teach for America corps member working with ESL Pre-K students and co-founded an early learning program to provide virtual learning assistance and childcare to families impacted by COVID-19.
