Celebrating 35 Years of Impact in New York
We've been serving young people across New York since our founding in 1990. Today, more than 7,000 alumni, corps members, and Ignite tutors are playing a leading role in the state's movement for educational equity. Together with families, students, schools, and local organizations, we're helping to strengthen the teacher talent pipeline across the state, accelerate student learning, and meet critical needs for diverse talent in hard-to-staff areas. And we're not slowing down.
Our legacy is built on leadership - your leadership - and the unwavering belief in a new tomorrow when all students will have access to the opportunities and excellent education that they deserve.
