Teach For America works in partnership with communities to expand educational opportunity for children facing the challenges of poverty. Founded in 1990 nationally (and 2007 in Colorado), TFA recruits and develops a diverse corps of outstanding individuals of all academic disciplines to commit an initial two years to teach in high-need schools and become lifelong leaders in the movement to end educational inequity.
Today, nearly 11,000 corps members are teaching in 50 urban and rural regions across the country while 37,000 alumni work across sectors to ensure that all children have access to an excellent education. In Colorado, TFA has grown into a network of 1,200 total members (including 600-plus teachers and 35 school and school system leaders) reaching more than 36,000 students in low-income communities statewide.
