	Andy Frantz - Program Director Andy brings his enthusiasm for education and public service to the program. Andy has 10 years of experience as an English teacher in the public schools of Nogales, Arizona and Belchertown, Massachusetts. He has also taught composition at Lorain County Community College. "Teaching is an act of faith," says Andy. "You put your best self into each interaction with every student. You may never know if you are reaching someone, changing their life by what you teach them or how you treat them--but you keep doing it, believing that you are making a difference."
