TFA is a community of changemakers and coalition builders. Leaders who teach, and teachers who lead. We are a diverse network of tens of thousands of individuals who understand the boundless potential of our nation’s most underserved children and the barriers they are up against in the face of inequity.We are committed to profound systemic change.

As a collective force – educators, advocates, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and community members – we fight for the aspirations of students and their families.

Together, we shape the conversation about what’s possible.

From classrooms to districts to state houses across America, we’re reimagining education to realize the day when every child has an equal opportunity to learn, to grow, to influence and to lead. In every community where meaningful progress is being made in educational outcomes, TFA alumni and corps members are playing an essential role. Together with our students and all who support them, we strive for justice and opportunity for all.

Teach For America works in partnership with urban and rural communities in 53 regions across the country to expand educational opportunity for children. Founded in 1990, Teach For America recruits and develops a diverse corps of outstanding leaders to make an initial two-year commitment to teach in high-need schools and become lifelong leaders in the effort to end educational inequity. Today Teach For America is a force of 56,000 alumni and corps members committed to profound systemic change.

From classrooms to districts to state houses across America, they’re reimagining education to realize the day when every child has an equal opportunity to learn, to grow, to influence and to lead.
