Your Chance to Change Things
We believe that providing a great education for all is the most effective means of ensuring equal opportunities for everyone. All kids in this country deserve the chance to reach their full potential. Educational opportunities should not be determined by your family’s income or the neighborhood in which you live.
2011 corps member and first-generation college graduate Pierce Hand talks about how his Teach For America teachers changed his life.
Teach For America is developing a movement of leaders who will help drive change at every level of our education system toward the goal of closing the achievement gap. These leaders start their paths as corps members, helping students in high-need communities make the academic progress that expands their opportunities. Deeply affected by their teaching experience, our alumni continue to advocate for students and build lasting change in many different roles and fields.
By joining Teach For America, you can help students live up to their potential and join thousands of individuals committed to creating a better future for all kids, families, and communities.
