Source4Teachers has assisted US public school districts with recruiting, training, and evaluating substitute teaching staff for almost two decades. Placing more than 6,500 teachers in classrooms across the country each day, Source4Teachers is an easy way for school systems to find a vetted substitute teacher.

Scholarship recipients included Joshua Sims of Creative Arts Morgan Village Academy, Ja’Nayzia Morris of Camden High School, and Ha’Nasia Clayton of Brimm Medical Arts High School.

New Jersey-based staffing firm Source4Teachers trains and provides substitute teachers for hundreds of clients throughout the nation. Since its founding in 2000, the company has received multiple honors, including a ranking on Forbes’ list of the “Best Large Employers” for 2017. Source4Teachers CEO Kendley Davenport is also the recipient of a number of recent awards, such as a 2017 Philadelphia Future 50 Award from SmartCEO.

SmartCEO magazine’s award programs celebrate business leaders and achievements throughout the eastern region of the United States. The Future 50 Award, the magazine’s largest award, honors the area’s fastest-growing medium-sized companies. To be eligible for a Future 50 Award, a nominee needs to have achieved significant growth, in both employees and revenue, averaged over a period of three years. Each honoree receives a profile article in SmartCEO magazine and recognition at a formal awards gala.

The Philadelphia Future 50 Award recognized Kendley Davenport and his Cherry Hill, New Jersey, company as industry game-changers for their level of innovation and client satisfaction. According to Mr. Davenport, Source4Teachers has grown so much that it has outstripped the practices that might have worked out on a smaller scale. He also acknowledged the company’s consistently non-status-quo thinking for creating new models for even the most basic of tasks. He attributes part of the company’s rapid forward momentum to its enthusiastic embrace of emerging technologies.

A provider of qualified substitute teachers, Source4Teachers operates out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey and provides educators to over 220 United States school districts. Additionally, Source4Teachers supports One Warm Coat (OWC), which aims to provide all of those in need with a warm coat.

OWC operates several programs to support its efforts, including its Coast to Coast Challenge, which calls on businesses that operate multiple locations to hold friendly competitive coat drives across all of their offices. Operating in much the same way as OWC’s traditional coat drives, the Challenge provides additional incentive to take part via the competitive aspect.

Upon signing up for the Challenge, a company receives detailed instructions on how to register each of its offices and implement the challenge, alongside coat drive kits for each office. Further, OWC provides resources to promote the competitive aspect of the Challenge, including a sample email and press release to introduce the concept and instructions for creating weekly leaderboards that companies can use to determine which office wins and the total impact made via the campaign.

A multi-location event sponsored by the American Cancer Society, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer raises money for breast cancer research and awareness via team walks. After one of its employees was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, Source4Teachers organized one such team to participate in Making Strides. As a personnel recruitment company for school districts, Source4Teachers is just one company involved in Making Strides.

Donations from the events go to breast cancer prevention and treatment, various programs for current breast cancer patients, breast cancer research and clinical improvements, and cancer advocacy and legislation. In addition donations from walk participants, the events receive corporate sponsorship from the likes of Chevrolet, H&M, and Kroger.

The events themselves consist of three- to five-mile walks in nearly 300 locations that take place every year sometime in October. Since Making Strides was established in 1993, more than 11 million walkers have raised $685 million dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
