About Florida

Our commitment to educational opportunity for all students is at the heart of everything we do at Teach For America in Florida. We are a dynamic force for change, dedicated to ensuring that every student receives an excellent education.

With a presence in Jacksonville, Miami-Dade, and Central Florida (serving the Tampa Bay area and Orlando), our impact extends across the diverse and vibrant state of Florida. This journey has been marked by our unwavering commitment to transforming the educational landscape and empowering future generations.

Where We Work

Teach For America made its debut in Miami-Dade in 2003, driven by the shared vision of community members who united to demand equal access to quality education for every student. Since then, we have expanded our reach, first to Jacksonville in 2008 and later to the Central Florida regions in 2015.
