Our Organization
Who We Are
Teach For America is a force of over 70,000 alumni, corps members, and Ignite Fellows working in over 9,000 schools nationwide. As a collective—educators, advocates, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and community members—we fight for the aspirations of students and their families. Together, we shape the conversation about what's possible. From classrooms to districts to statehouses across America, we’re reimagining education to realize the day when every child has the opportunity to learn, to grow, to influence, and to lead.
Significant progress in educational outcomes is happening in communities across the country. And the Teach For America network is playing an essential role.
