A Community for Growth, Collaboration, and Impact
Katrina’s Story: Your Chance to Shape the Future
Katrina is a teacher, passionate about her work but often yearning for a supportive community that understands her unique challenges. One day, she discovered the 3GM Educators Coop—a budding network with a bold vision: to unite teachers, trainers, and education professionals in collaboration, growth, and innovation.
Though still in its infancy, the Coop presented Katrina with a unique opportunity—not just to join, but to shape its very foundation. Its mission to advocate for fair pay standards, such as a minimum hourly rate of 3,000 yen for professional business English teachers, resonated deeply with her. By joining during this pivotal stage, Katrina became a key contributor to its purpose, direction, and future. She embraced the chance to be more than a member; she became a trailblazer.
Through the Coop’s shared vision, Katrina discovered entrepreneurial possibilities she hadn’t considered before. One initiative stood out: promoting ethical gold jewelry, directly aligned with 3GM’s commitment to sustainability and social impact. Alongside other founding members, she delved into supporting sustainable mining practices, raising awareness about ethical sourcing, and creating meaningful opportunities for artisans and miners in Ghana.
Even in these early days, Katrina saw the potential for change. The ethical gold jewelry she envisioned wearing and promoting wasn’t just a fashion statement—it was a symbol of her commitment to sustainability and her dedication to empowering communities. For Katrina, it represented the shared purpose and impact of the Coop’s collective effort.
The 3GM Educators Coop provided Katrina with more than a sense of belonging—it offered her a platform to transform ideas into action, empowering herself and uplifting communities far beyond her classroom. To Katrina, the Coop’s formative stage wasn’t a limitation; it was its greatest strength—a blank canvas waiting to be shaped by passionate voices like hers.
Now, Katrina invites you to join her and others in crafting the future of the 3GM Educators Coop. Together, you can build a community that inspires, empowers, and drives meaningful change. This is your chance to leave a lasting impact. Will you seize it?
