Jaymes White
المبدأ والرئيس التنفيذي
ينضم Jaymes White إلى عائلة Green Tech بعد أن شغل منصب المدير المساعد في مدرسة Tamarac الثانوية على مدار السنوات الثلاث الماضية. أثناء وجوده في تاماراك، كان وايت فعالاً في الدعوة إلى إضافة مستشار مدرسي في المدرسة الابتدائية وقيادة جهود التنوع والإنصاف والشمول في المنطقة. قبل أن يصبح مديرًا مساعدًا في عام 2020، أمضى وايت ست سنوات كمستشار مدرسي على مستوى المدارس المتوسطة/الثانوية في أدوار ومسؤوليات مختلفة. خلال فترة وايت في مدرسة ساراتوجا سبرينجز الثانوية، أنشأ وايت برنامج "الاستشارات الأكاديمية" الذي تم تصميمه لمساعدة الطلاب المعرضين للخطر. ونظرًا لنجاحه، زاد معدل الالتحاق بالبرنامج بنسبة 70% من السنة الأولى إلى السنة الثانية.
