Teach For America Tabling
Who We Are:
Teach For America is a national nonprofit that offers a full-time, paid, two-year teaching opportunity for college seniors, graduate students, and early-career professionals who want high-stakes work, tangible early responsibility, and a first role that will genuinely shape where they go next. Through our two-year teaching corps, we place and support people who teach full-time in under-resourced public schools. You’ll drive student learning, build trust with families, and gain a ground-level understanding of how broader issues like housing, healthcare, and economic mobility shape students’ lives. Corps members build durable skills, earn hands-on, career-building experience, and join a network committed to expanding opportunity.
What You’ll Do:
- Teach two years full-time in an under-resourced public school
- Build genuine relationships with students and families — not just lesson plans
- Learn to navigate the barriers kids face inside and outside the classroom
- Sharpen your communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through daily classroom leadership
- Work alongside your school community to remove obstacles and open doors for students who need it most
Start Date: Late Spring 2027 after graduation
Who This Is For:
TFA is built for people from all majors and backgrounds who have strong leadership potential, a record of follow-through and impact, and are genuinely committed to the students and communities they’ll serve. You take initiative, show up consistently, and grow fast. You value working across lines of difference and thrive on feedback, challenge, and meaningful work. Most importantly, you don’t just want to lead — you want to serve alongside the communities you’re part of.
