Teach For America

Overview

Teach For America (TFA) is a nonprofit organization focused on addressing educational inequity in the United States. Founded in 1989 by Wendy Kopp, TFA recruits and develops future leaders to teach in low-income communities. The organization aims to transform education and expand opportunities for all children by enlisting exceptional college graduates and professionals to commit at least two years to teaching in under-resourced public and charter K–12 schools.

TFA emphasizes leadership development and collaborates with schools, districts, and communities in 52 regions nationwide. Its corps members receive intensive training and ongoing support to ensure they are effective in challenging environments. TFA's mission includes a 10-year goal to double the number of children in partner communities reaching key educational milestones by 2030, enhancing economic mobility and opportunity. The organization has gained recognition for its innovative approach to education reform and has placed thousands of corps members, impacting hundreds of thousands of students annually.
