About

THERE ARE MORE THAN 16 MILLION CHILDREN GROWING UP IN POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES. These statistics are not a reflection of our children’s potential. Kids growing up in poverty can and do achieve at the highest levels. Instead, these statistics reflect the systemic lack of equity for kids in low-income communities. There are numerous forces behind this injustice—racism, outdated policies, lack of resources, and much more—so there isn’t just one simple fix. To make things right we must come together as students, teachers, principals, activists, social entrepreneurs, politicians, and all others to disrupt the causes of injustice and create solutions. It’s not just the lives of individual children at stake—this affects all of us. And it’s the responsibility of all of us to change things. Our mission is to enlist, develop, and mobilize as many as possible of our nation's most promising future leaders to grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence. We recruit remarkable and diverse individuals to become teachers in low-income communities. They commit to teach for two years and are hired by our partner public schools across the country. During these two years they are called corps members. We train and support corps members in the practices of great teachers and leaders. With hard work, perseverance, and strong partnerships with their students, students’ families, and communities, corps members can dramatically increase the opportunities available to their students in school and in life. Corps members don’t just teach their students, they learn from them. At the end of two years, they use those lessons to choose their path forward. Many stay in the classroom. Others move into politics, school leadership, nonprofit work, advocacy, and more. All of their paths matter because together they form a network—connecting, expanding, and strengthening the movement to give all kids access to a great education.

Julia Rodbell

1st year TFA Corps Member

I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. This summer I will be participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. I can't wait for my first year with Teach for America.

Faith Simon

1st year TFA Corps Member

I have been blessed and beyond fortunate to have used my education in order to have worldly experiences such as researching at the esteemed National Institutes of Health, studying and interning abroad in Cape Town, South Africa as part of a global education team and living in Austin, Texas a bustling hub of education, self-betterment and opportunity. All of these experiences, and more, are why I am a teacher. I want to foster environments for students to connect on something deeper than the subject material. I want them to remember the laughs, remember the smiles, I want them to feel safe to express themselves and feel safe to be who they are. I want to be a living representation that no matter where you start, education can and will elevate you as far as you are willing to put in the work in order to go. So thank you, everyone. For without your donations, none of this life altering work would be possible.

Jackie Chavez

8th Grade Teacher

As an immigrant, I remember my first time in an American classroom. I had a desk with my name on it and I could leave my belongings at school - I had never had that. As I reflected back on my educational journey leading up to my college graduation, I realized the power that comes with education. The odds were really not in my favor due to being a first generation, growing up in Caroline County where the population was 2% other, an immigrant, a student that tested out of ESL and within the same year tested into the gifted program, and a woman in STEM. However, the faith that my teachers, peers, community, and professors had in me really made a difference. Although my educational journey has been far from easy, I often think what would’ve been if I would have never came to America. Educational inequality is REAL and this is my way of giving back to education for all the opportunities I’ve gained by having a degree. I’m excited to share my story with black, brown, and white students and give them the education that they deserve.

Lou Lobos

5 grade

Having grown up in the suburbs of New York city, I was privileged in receiving support from my mentor teachers, parents, and community. I always felt loved and cared for and thus had the moral/emotional support to believe in myself and go to college. Nevertheless, I've come to realize that not every child in our country has those opportunities because of their personal circumstances and the zip code they were born into. For that reason I decided to join Teach For America after graduating from Binghamton University in New York State to make an impact and give back to my community. In doing so, I recently moved to Texas and accepted a position as a 5th grade Bilingual teacher. I hope my personal experiences as well as training and education will allow me to expand more opportunities for my children, just like others did for me growing up.
