Description
Teach For America's mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in this effort.
We build a diverse, highly selective corps of top recent college graduates and professionals, individuals of all academic majors, career interests, and backgrounds who commit two years to teach in low-income communities and become lifelong leaders in pursuit of educational excellence and equity. During their two years, corps members go above and beyond traditional expectations to ensure that children growing up in low-income areas have more of the opportunities they deserve. At the same time, the corps members themselves gain the conviction and insight necessary to be lifelong leaders for fundamental change, regardless of their professional sector.
