If I have a disability, how will Teach For America accommodate me?

Teach For America values people with disabilities and believes in their ability to address issues of educational inequity. Teach For America is committed to providing equal access and opportunities to candidates with disabilities, and prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the application process, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws.

Teach For America provides reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities at every stage of the application process. Disclosing a disability or requesting a need for accommodations is a separate and distinct process from admissions and will have absolutely no bearing on a candidate’s application status. Teach For America will make every effort to meet your request, but specific requests are not guaranteed. All disclosed information will be kept confidential within Teach For America.

If you need to request an accommodation or have any questions regarding our Disability Accommodations Policy, please contact our disabilities accommodations office at DAO@teachforamerica.org.
