Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates and working professionals – of all academic majors, backgrounds, and career interests – who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders to help all students fulfill their potential.
Each year, we select a diverse corps of individuals who have the skills and commitment to improve the quality of education for students growing up today in low-income communities, and to help break the cycle of educational inequity.
We will train you during a rigorous pre-service summer training program; place you as a teacher with full salary and benefits in an urban or rural public schools; and continue to support you through a two-year professional development program to ensure your success as a teacher and beyond.
