Our Story
Founded in 2003 by Dr. Linda Coy, the Three Rivers Education Foundation addresses critical gaps in teacher preparation. Named for the cultural confluence in the Southwest, this foundation bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application in education. Since achieving nonprofit status in 2008, it has made significant strides in enhancing educational practices across New Mexico, southern Colorado, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas. By focusing on the unique needs of rural, marginalized, and minority communities, the foundation promotes teacher empowerment and community development.
