Teach For America

Teach For America is a national service organization that enlists promising future leaders to teach in under-resourced schools across the United States. Since its founding in 1990, Teach For America has focused on the mission of enlisting, developing, and mobilizing the leadership of individuals to eliminate educational inequity. We believe that all children deserve an excellent education, regardless of their background or zip code. Our corps members commit to teaching for at least two years in low-income communities while developing the skills necessary to become leaders for systemic change.

With approximately 62,000 alumni, Teach For America has created a powerful network of professionals who are committed to educational equity in various roles, including classroom teachers, school leaders, and advocates for policy change. Our unique corps model provides rigorous training, coaching, and ongoing support, allowing participants to thrive in their teaching roles. We are dedicated to a collaborative approach with communities, believing that every individual can drive change from within. Our comprehensive programs, including the Teacher Corps and the Ignite Fellowship, provide multiple pathways for passionate individuals to engage with children and impact their lives positively.
