Corps Members Receive a Full Salary and Comprehensive Benefits
As a corps member, you will be a full-time, salaried employee of your school district. Your salary and benefits will be the same as other beginning teachers in that district.
Salary
Salaries range from $25,500 to $51,000, depending on where our corps members teach across the country. Urban regions tend to offer higher salaries because of higher cost-of-living. Rural regions offer lower salaries but corps members enjoy the benefits of lower cost-of-living which helps them save money on rent, groceries, utilities and other living expenses.
