About Teach For America
Teach For America (TFA) is a selective leadership development program that’s committed to achieving educational equity in the U.S. We work in partnership with 51 communities across America to achieve the day when every child has an equal opportunity to learn and thrive. With TFA, you can redefine the possibilities for students while growing immeasurably as a leader.
We’re currently looking for outstanding and diverse leaders to become TFA “corps members.” As a corps member, you’ll commit to teaching for two years in a low-income community, where you’ll be employed by a local school and work full-time as a teacher in a pre-K through 12th grade class.
Being a corps member is just the start of a lifetime of impact, leadership, and advocacy. After two years, you will become an alumnus of TFA. You may choose to continue working in education, whether as a classroom teacher or in school leadership. Inspired by your students, you may decide to enter a different career in which you will continue advocating for equity. Our alumni go on to become attorneys, CEOs, small business owners, doctors, and countless other professions. No matter what path you choose after the corps, you will be continuously supported by the large, diverse TFA alumni network, with more than 56,000 leaders.
Education influences everything, from income to healthcare to our environment. As a corps member, you’ll be able to apply the skills and experience you gain in the classroom toward creating a more equitable nation for generations to come. Submit your application to join our movement today.
