Teach For America is a launchpad for early-career leadership rooted in service, learning, and community impact. We offer paid, community-based roles where you lead from day one — either as a part-time virtual tutor through the Ignite Fellowship or as a full-time teacher through the Teaching Corps in K-12 education. You’ll support student learning in high-poverty schools and gain a first-hand understanding of the systems that shape opportunity and access.
Instead of just studying issues like access to education, you’ll get to work on them directly — helping students grow, building trust with families, and tackling real-world challenges alongside your school community.
Through it all, you’ll receive coaching, structure, and a national network of over 70,000 leaders who’ve gone on to shape change in education, policy, health, business, and more. Through our programs you’ll grow fast, make a difference, and get clearer on the kind of leader you want to become — no matter where your path leads next. Over 800 Cal grads have joined Teach for America and are working in a variety of sectors after completing their core commitments.”
