The Mental Arithmetic Expands Across Regions initiative stands as a powerful example of grassroots impact driven by Teach For Armenia’s growing community of Alumni-Ambassadors. By connecting second-year Teacher-Leaders with Alumni-Ambassadors trained in mental arithmetic coaching, the program creates lasting educational pathways in underserved communities across Armenia.
