Shoals native and University of North Alabama graduate April Clark will present a solo session at SXSW EDU in Austin, Texas, this March.
SXSW EDU, which his March 6-9, features speakers considered experts in their field from across the world to present innovative ideas in education.
Clark’s solo session, titled “Teach Entrepreneurship: One Concert at a Time,” explores the importance of teaching ditching hypothetical situations and providing real world experiences in the class. That is the founding principle of Reach and Teach, an educational nonprofit co-founded by Clark in 2017.
Reach and Teach is an Alabama-based nonprofit that facilitates the opportunity for high school students to plan, promote and execute a real concert on their campus, Clark said.
The organization has impacted over 15,000 high school students through its Concert Tour program, which also doubles as a fundraiser for participating schools. Reach and Teach has assisted schools in raising over $150,000.
