The Jinny Chalmers Fund for Education Justice was established to honor the life of Virginia “Jinny” Chalmers and to carry on her work as an educator, a mentor, a community leader and a fierce advocate for racial justice and equity in education.
As Principal at Boston’s Young Achievers Science and Math K-8 Pilot School, Jinny Chalmers never missed a chance to celebrate and support her students and their families: in the classroom, on the playground and at school events of all kinds.
