Our Teams

We have both regional teams and national teams at Teach For America working closely together to fuel our growth and maximize our impact. Our regional teams advance our work at the local level, fostering strong relationships within the communities where we place teachers. Our national teams have deep functional expertise in areas such as marketing, finance, IT, recruitment and teacher preparation and support. This nationally centralized expertise is re-used across all regional teams to drive and support their decision making in their local contexts.

Check out our list of teams below and their descriptions to get a introductory sense of how we operate and work together.
