Career Center
At this time, we can only accept content submissions from organizations that have a formal partnership agreement with Teach For America. If your organization is interested in sharing employment, career or talent development opportunities with our network, please visit our Partnerships page to learn more about partnering with us.
The Alumni Hub serves as a baseline launchpad that is external-facing and requires no login. While there are career opportunities and employer partners visible on this platform, they represent only about 10% of those offered on TFA Career Connect and are intended as a preview of what we can offer.
TFA Career Connect will continue to serve as our digital solution for a national job board and networking platform for corps members, alumni, and employers/recruiters. This platform allows job seekers to look for roles, apply for roles, message prospective employers, share their resume, and network with other alumni working for their target employers and/or working in a region of interest. Employers can quickly find those actively looking for a role and download their resumes. TFA Career Connect is the only place you can do these things. Currently, over 16,000 alumni and 1,000 employers have active accounts on TFA Career Connect. This product requires a login to use, ensuring that only TFA alumni have access to these exclusive job opportunities.
The Career Center, formerly Alumni Hub, is a launchpad for TFA network that is open and accessible to all.

Verification
TFA Alumni can download a PDF letter verifying successful completion of the TFA Corps Program in their Teach for America profile on TFA.org.
Current corps members in need of verification should contact their placement regional team.
My information is incorrect. How do I update it?
You can update your name on your Account & Contacts page. You should be able to immediately download your letter after making changes. If your Corps Year or Corps Region are incorrect, contact us for further assistance. Wait until our team confirms that your issue is resolved before attempting to generate another letter.
I'm having trouble downloading my letter.
If the PDF doesn't open automatically, try right-clicking the Download Your Letter button and choosing "Save link as" in order to save the PDF to your device. If you're still having issues, contact us for further assistance.
I'm having trouble logging into teachforamerica.org
If you are having trouble logging into teachforamerica.org or no longer have access to an email address you previously used when logging into your Alumni Dashboard, please contact us for further assistance.
AmeriCorps service verification must be requested directly from AmeriCorps, via your personal account at my.americorps.gov.
Alumni seeking verification of academic program completion for the purpose of certification should contact the institution that issued academic credits/credentials for verification.
Current corps members and alumni seeking verification of their employment for the purposes of a background check or Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) must contact their former employer directly.
TFA does not provide employment verification to corps members or alumni, as we are not the employer. In cases where a former employer no longer exists, alumni should reference the PSLF Help Tool for loan forgiveness. Alumni who served on TFA staff may contact Generalist (generalist@teachforamerica.org) or visit the PSLF Help Tool.
Contacts & Communications
You can use TFA Career Connect to search for and connect with other corps members, alumni, and staff who are also on the platform.
Corps members, alumni, and staff are encouraged to keep their profile information up-to-date on TFA Career Connect. If you're already on the platform, encourage your fellow corps members and alumni to join!
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) employment verification is only available to current or former TFA staff. Please email generalist@teachforamerica.org.
Alumni who have not served on TFA staff should review these instructions for PSLF.
To update your address or any other personal information, sign into teachforamerica.org and click on your profile in the top right corner. You will be able to update your contact info in your profile and click save.
