Where We Work

Each of the places where we work, called our regions, has a distinct story and a local community to join in helping all children reach their full potential.

Corps Member Placement Regions

We currently place corps members in more than 40 regions with over 60 placement communities. When you apply, share your region(s) of interest. Use our Compare Regions tool to see details like cost of living, salary, required GPA, and summer training dates.

After you are invited to interview, finalize your placement community selection(s). While one selection is required, you may select up to two additional options that you're also excited about. Use the Explore Map, powered by Avela, to explore all placement communities and filter by criteria that are important to you.

Alumni Innovation Regions

While all our regions are meaningfully invested in the impact of their local alumni networks, select regions are focusing on a new approach to alumni leadership, learning, and impact, and not bringing in a corps at this time. 

Alumni Innovation Regions will focus primarily on developing alumni-specific programming as a key lever to drive local impact. Their efforts will produce insights and accelerate organizational learning to reach our 10 year goal: By 2030, twice as many children in communities where we work will reach key educational milestones indicating they are on a path to economic mobility and a future filled with possibility.
