Funding Impact 

For 30 years, Teach For America (TFA) has worked in solidarity with schools across Greater New Orleans (GNO) to transform education, bringing over 3,000 talented leaders to serve our community and expand opportunity for children, starting in the classroom.   

Now, more than ever, we need leaders who are 100% committed to creating the most equitable community for kids and families. Our region has worked together to rebuild after Katrina, advocate for safety and equity through the pandemic, and now must innovate around the increasing challenges of climate change. Collectively, we continue to battle barriers to realizing educational equity for all students such as systemic racism and trauma.  

These are not easy obstacles to overcome, but we can't give up! Our students are the people who will lead GNO through these crises and the ones to come, so we must be all-in for them, for their families, and for each other.
