Yes, to complete the application you will need to write two short-answer responses (450 words maximum for each) about why you are motivated to join Teach For America and your greatest accomplishment in a professional, academic, or organizational setting. Your answers to these questions helps us learn more about your motivations and interest in joining the corps, as well as your achievements. If you are invited to the interview, we may ask you to expand on your responses to these questions.

*As a reminder, all aspects of your application must be your own individual work. Any response that is not completely your own work will automatically call your application into question per our falsification or misrepresentation policy and may result in immediate dismissal from the application process or corps.
