Raby Gueye is the founder and CEO of Teach For Senegal, which seeks to provide equal opportunities for all children in Senegal to attain an excellent education. Originally from Senegal, Raby has experienced inequity firsthand. At the age of 8, Raby moved to the United States as a refugee, and since then, she has maintained a strong commitment to social justice issues. At Arizona State University, Raby assisted with research on gender violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Her role as an English speaker in underserved communities in India allowed her to collaborate with a diverse group of NGOs to help increase the literacy rate. In 2015, she was recruited by Teach For America to join a national corps of recent college graduates and professionals who commit to teaching in urban and rural public schools. As a teacher, Raby prioritized building strong relationships with her students and families to create an environment where all families feel welcomed and included. Raby has a master’s degree in elementary education.
