About Us
About Us
Since 2011, Teach For America has contributed to the push for educational equity in Washington State. Our region has one of the fastest-growing economies in the U.S., contrasted by a public education system ranked 31st in the country. While potential is evenly distributed across lines of race and class, access to opportunity is not, particularly for those in marginalized communities.
Creating enduring change in education requires the dedication and vision of exceptional leaders who are undeterred by the challenges facing our education system and intimately understand their local context. Alongside our passionate, talented alumni and corps members, we know we can make a difference for kids in Washington.
Where Our Corps Members Teach
Our corps members primarily work in South King County in the Federal Way and Renton public school areas.
Our Alumni
Our network of nearly 1,500 passionate local alumni is committed to uncovering and addressing disparities that impact kids and families in Washington alongside the communities they belong to and serve.
