Teaching Lorain connects educators, youth, and community members to the city’s history and provides a collaborative forum for examining and addressing the current challenges facing Lorain. With the mission of connecting students and educators with Lorain's history of innovation, politics, and culture, Teaching Lorain strives to create a love of place and encourages the integration of Lorain's story into the classroom.
