About Teach For America Phoenix

Teach for America Phoenix has a proud 30-year history in Phoenix, which is represented in the strength of our community and school partnerships, and the impact that our over 100 corps members and nearly 1,200 alumni are having every day. Informed and inspired by their students, many alumni choose to teach beyond their two-year commitment. Others Lead from many sectors that shape the context and conditions in which schools operate: they are school and district leaders; policy makers; founders of advocacy organizations; social entrepreneurs; and business, philanthropic, and civic leaders working to make change. Our corps members and alumni work relentlessly, in partnership with our community, to ensure the students of Arizona have the opportunities they deserve. 

About Teach for America

Teach For America recruits outstanding and diverse leaders to become TFA "corps members." Corps members commit to teaching for two years in a low-income community, where they're employed by local schools and confront both the challenges and joys of expanding opportunities for kids. 

After two years, they become part of the TFA alumni network. Informed and inspired by their students, many continue teaching; others pursue other leadership roles in schools and school systems or launch careers in other fields that shape educational access and opportunity. 

Teach for America is a proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network. For more information, visit www.teachforamerica.org and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
