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There are numerous forces behind this injustice—racism, outdated policies, lack of resources, and much more—so there isn’t just one simple fix.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.

Sharina Ross

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.

Kayleigh Del Moral

In December I finished my Masters in Counseling and then said "It's time to teach!" Kind of backwards I know, but I'm so excited for the journey ahead!

Angel Espinoza

6th Grade Teacher

My name is Angel Espinoza, and I will begin my first year of teaching this fall at Woodlawn Academy in San Antonio, Texas. I will be the sole 6th grade mathematics teacher, and teach a section of Social Studies and Design as well. Woodlawn Academy is located on the west side of the city, in a predominantly low income neighborhood. I anticipate that many of my students will be unable to access the basic school supplies that are necessary for academic success. In order to ensure that my students have the opportunity to excel in their learning, I will be responsible for providing the necessary tools. Any funds I raise will be used towards the purchase of school supplies for my students. I would greatly appreciate any help and thank you in advance for your generosity!

Kathryn Frederick

Middle School

Hi Friends, My name is Kathryn Frederick, and I will start my first year of teaching this August in San Antonio, Texas. As I prepare my classroom for my students, any financial aid would go a long way. Thank you so much for reading through and considering to donate.

Andrea Ramirez

middle school teacher

My name is Andrea Ramirez and I am a recent graduate from THE University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelors of Science in Applied Learning and Development. I am currently a first year teacher and will be working in the San Antonio Independent School District as a middle school teacher. My passion for education first sparked when entering college. I wanted the work I was doing to be meaningful, and when I had the opportunity to volunteer in college as a math coach and got to work during the summer as a Geometry teacher with Breakthrough Collaborative, I knew I wanted to go back to my community and provide an excellent education in an urban school. I grew up in San Antonio, so I thought it would only be fitting to go back to where it all started. As a first generation Latinx, I know firsthand the limitations students at times may feel in the classroom but it's possible. I look forward to providing my students with a safe environment where they feel they can reach their full potential. I chose to join the movement towards ending educational inequity and I hope you will join me as well.

Monica Garcia

MS Science Teacher

With an educational and professional background in counseling and family development, I fell in love with the craft of teaching. I want to ignite curiosity, passion, and self-efficacy among my students. I am going to incorporate fun into high expectations, so my students reach any and all goals they set.

Emily Berglund

7th Grade Science Teacher

After years of camp counselor-ing, swim lessons instructor-ing, and dabbling in the world of marine science, I'm elated (and a little terrified) to be joining the education world as a traditional classroom teacher. Teach for America has placed me in a 7th grade science classroom in Kansas City, MO, and I'm so excited to start this next adventure!
