Introducing Teneka Robinson, Incoming Board Chair

We’re so excited to welcome Teneka to the Board!

Teneka is a K–16 education strategist and researcher focused on STEM teacher pipeline development and workforce readiness, with a commitment to building equitable education pathways for underserved communities. She previously served as Chair of the Harlem YMCA's Board of Managers, where she spearheaded the implementation of the Young Professional Committee to expand access to board leadership for early- and mid-career professionals. Teneka is a contributing author to two published books on educational equity. She is a doctoral candidate at Northeastern University, where she also earned her Master of Science in Nonprofit Management and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from the College of the Holy Cross.

Teneka believes that the same principles driving her research and civic leadership at home—equitable access, strong pipelines, and intentional investment in the next generation—are the foundation of what girls around the world need to thrive.

Our work isn't finished. We still need your support to ensure girls can stay in school, delay early marriage, strengthen their earning potential, lead in their communities, and break cycles of poverty for generations to come. Even without a match, your gift creates real change for girls and young women in the province of Punjab, Pakistan, and puts us in the running for a bonus prize of up to $3,000!

Noor: Hopeful and Motivated

Noor has a gift for writing and reciting Na‘at, poetry praising the Islamic prophet Muhammad, earning admiration in her village and opening doors to a respected profession. A Grade 9 student in Pakistan, Noor has faced repeated interruptions to her schooling due to financial barriers—yet, she continues to choose learning! Girls Education International’s support allows her to continue without interruption. 

Will you help us support Noor and girls like her? From March 17–20, all donations through our partner GlobalGiving will be matched: 50% up to $50 while funds last. 

P.S. Did you know the name Noor means “light,” “illumination,” or “brightness”? Your generosity keeps her light shining—fueling her education, amplifying her voice, and proving what’s possible when a community partners so girls can lead.
