Two Yonkers teachers with extensive humanitarian experience joined a 15-teacher delegation sent to work with Ukrainian and Polish students in Poland.

Four NYSUT members are joining a 15-person delegation of educators from across the nation for a two-week summer camp in Poland to work with students from war-torn Ukraine and Poland. The trip — organized by the American Federation of Teachers, NATAN Worldwide Disaster Relief and the Kosciuszko and Folkowisko foundations — is aimed at providing educational support to 12-to-15-year-olds affected by the disruptions of war through experiential, project-based outdoor activities.
