Joining Teach For America does not mean you will automatically have a teaching job. Corps members are hired full-time employees of their school, district, or charter organization (not Teach For America). You'll have support from staff in your region throughout the hiring process. Your salary and benefits will be the same as other beginning teachers working for the same employer.

While a background in education isn’t a prerequisite for you to apply to Teach For America, all of our partner regions will require you to complete steps to become highly qualified in the subject(s) you'll teach in the fall. 

All of our training and support is towards the goal of developing teacher leaders who realize ambitious outcomes for students. This work is grounded in a CM roadmap of development with the following domains: rigorous instruction, strong classroom environments, learning, and relationships.

As a TFA corps member, you will engage in a pre-service model with corps members from across the country, the goal of which is to develop you as a teacher leader, ready to lead a classroom towards strong student outcomes. Our Pre-Service model has the following phases:
