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 have taught:

  • 50% taught in district schools in southern King County
  • 20% taught in charter schools in southern King County 
  • 25% taught in district schools in Yakima Valley
  • 5% taught in schools in more remote communities
