Founded by Educators. Rooted in Community.

Community Impact Alliance Foundation was founded by Terri Harris, Ashante Ephraim, and Kristin Weathers—three educators whose commitment to families extends beyond the classroom. Inspired by the needs and potential of our community, we are building a hub of resources, relationships, and opportunities around four pillars: Finance, Travel, Media, and S.T.E.A.M. Our purpose is to help community members find support, explore new possibilities, and build stronger futures.

Terri Harris

Co-Founder & Educator

Terri helps shape the foundation’s shared vision: a community where families can find resources, build connections, and discover opportunities to grow. Alongside her fellow educator-founders, she is committed to bringing that vision to life through Finance, Travel, Media, and S.T.E.A.M.

Ashante Ephraim

Co-Founder & Educator

Ashante brings her experience as an ELAR teacher and dual credit professor to the foundation’s community-centered work. Her belief that exposure is education inspires the effort to connect families with resources, learning experiences, and opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. She is committed to bringing that vision to life through Finance, Travel, Media, and S.T.E.A.M.

Kristin Weathers

Co-Founder & Educator

Kristin shares a commitment to helping our community thrive through education, connection, and access to resources. Together with her fellow founders, she is building a welcoming hub where families can explore opportunities across Finance, Travel, Media, and S.T.E.A.M.

Exposure is education. Opportunity should be shared. Better is built together.
