Join us on Saturday, May 18, 2024 for Teach For America New York’s Alumni Homecoming! 

We are excited to launch our inaugural Virani Distinguished School Leader Award & Dinner! 

Beginning in 2024, this award will be given annually to 2 TFA-alum school leaders working in Houston. The winner will be a person who demonstrates excellence and embodies every Teach For America core value. As a token of appreciation for these excellent changemakers, the winners will also receive a financial reward of $10,000. 

Nominations will be accepted from May 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. A diverse selection committee will review nominations, and winners will be announced and celebrated at a dinner in Fall 2024. 

This award is generously given by Asha and Farid Virani. Mr. Virani is the co-board chair of TFA Houston, the CEO of Prime Communications, a generous philanthropist, and impactful community leader. Mrs. Virani is an esteemed medical doctor and the founder of The Faris Foundation.

The initial Teach For America application includes two short answer questions, and your responses are a valuable opportunity to bring to life your accomplishments and desire for impact. We've put together a quick, 15-minute On-Demand application workshop to support you in responding to these questions and submitting the strongest application possible ahead of our application deadline. You'll have the opportunity to explore related resources, view sample resumes, hear our alumni share why they chose to join TFA, and submit questions (which we will answer via email within 24-48 hours). Register now and revisit the content at any time!

Feeling disorganized? This is your sign to get your life together and Maria Offutt, Teach For America recruiter, will show you how to do it. Join us to learn how to set healthy goals and be more productive - especially as you start looking for a job or internship.
