San Diego
About Us
Expanding educational opportunity requires individual and collective leadership working from inside and outside of the education system. TFA’s San Diego region launched in 2013 with 19 corps members in San Diego. Today, San Diego is home to over 600 alumni working to open doors for all students as teachers, educators, advocates, elected officials, and leaders.
Our Focus
Our Focus
Teachers, school leaders, and other educators work on the frontlines to create more opportunities for students, but they ultimately belong to larger schools and systems. That is why TFA San Diego focuses on recruiting, retaining, and developing alumni educators to work in high-need schools in San Diego. TFA alumni go above and beyond to positively transform the education system for our students and communities because they know a high-quality education is the gateway to choice.
