Our 12,000 alumni are a leadership force - working from within education and from every sector to effect fundamental change.

Alumni impact

Approximately 700 alumni call the Metro D.C. area home, having established themselves as drivers of change in the region committed to working inside and outside our school systems.

Beyond growing numbers, the individual leadership and collective strength of our alumni greatly enhance our power to effect change, particularly as we intensify our strategic alumni support and strengthen our connections and collaborations.

*Statistics about our alumni change rapidly as former corps members move to expand their impact by taking on new leadership opportunities, and as our alumni force as a whole expands every year. As a result, all statistics on this page are accurate as of April 5, 2008.
