Thank You For Your Support

Teach For America Milwaukee Region is so grateful for our existing supporters. All gifts help our effort to recruit, select, train and support corps members and alumni.

Partner Spotlight

TFA-Milwaukee is committed to fueling an even larger, more effective, and more diverse movement to ensure educational opportunities in our city. Together, with key investors, we seek to significantly grow our incoming corps over the next four years to fuel the pipeline of necessary talent.  By providing Milwaukee with excellent teachers and leaders, we will contribute to reshaping the education landscape to ensure every child receives an excellent education.  

TFA-Milwaukee is grateful for the commitment the Milwaukee-area funders have made to ensuring our progress in this city.  We would not be able to provide Milwaukee with the leaders it needs without the generous financial contributions from our supporters.

In the Spring of 2012, TFA-Milwaukee formed its inaugural board of directors, led by Co-Chairs Jon Hammes and Paul Purcell.  These education advocates will help shape the future of TFA-Milwaukee in this community.
