Student Education Association
USC Upstate Greenville Chapter of TEACh (Teachers Educating
All Children) gives pre-service teachers the opportunity to develop
professionally through opportunities to serve the needs and well-being of
children and families in the community and to develop leadership and teamwork
skills needed in the teaching profession. Members of TEACh pay annual
dues that include membership to the S.C. International Reading Association
(SCIRA) and a TEACh t-shirt. Members in good standing must attend monthly
meetings and volunteer 5 hours of service toward any of the sponsored campus/community
events each semester. We believe each member has an important part to
play as they donate their time, talents, and energy. The following
is a list of our campus and community involvement:
Campus Events
- Fall Fest - TEACh members supervise games for
children and provide prizes/goodies
- Game Night - TEACh members supervise games
for children and provide prizes/goodies
- Cat in the Hat - Partnership with Reading 4

Community Outreach

a collaboration between students, faculty, and staff at the University Center,
and a liason with Greenville Tech we fulfill 100 Angel Tree wishes and
stockings.
- Backpack Buddies - Partnership with Harvest Hope
Food Bank - Each week TEACh members fill backpacks with enough food
for 25 students at a local school and their families for the weekend
- Walk-a-Thon for the Homeless
