Corps members develop into strong classroom leaders who go beyond traditional expectations to advance students’ academic and personal growth while helping to strengthen schools. They work in the districts and schools most impacted by educational inequity.

In partnership with local universities such as the University of Michigan, nonprofit organizations, and businesses around Detroit, corps members receive initial training, ongoing professional development, and access to an unparalleled resource and support network.

TFA has more than 3,000 corps members, reaching nearly 250,000 students in over 1,500 schools.

Teach For America’s Approach

TFA recruits outstanding leaders from all backgrounds and career sectors to become TFA “corps members.” That includes recent college graduates, people who have taught for several years, and those interested in making a career change.

Corps members commit to teaching for two years, where they are full-time, salaried employees of local public schools and confront both the challenges and joys of expanding opportunities for kids. Many choose to continue teaching after their two-year TFA commitment ends. Corps members develop into strong classroom leaders who go beyond traditional expectations to advance students’ academic and personal growth while helping to strengthen schools. They work in the districts and schools most impacted by educational inequity.

In partnership with nonprofit organizations and businesses in Appalachia, corps members receive initial training, ongoing professional development, and access to an unparalleled resource and support network.

TFA has more than 3,000 corps members, reaching nearly 250,000 students in over 1,500 schools.

You'll be placed in your preferred region so long as there's space and you meet the local requirements. Read more below about our placement process.
