Today in the United States, only 8% of students growing up in low-income communities graduate from college by the time they’re 24, compared to 80% of students from high-income communities. The consequences of these disparities for the 15 million children growing up in poverty are severe – but you have the power to change this.

Teach For America enlists a diverse corps of leaders who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong advocates in the effort to expand educational opportunity through a variety of careers in or outside of the field of education. Our corps members use their numerous skills and experiences from their varied work, leadership, and academic backgrounds to effect change in their classroom and help break the cycle of inequity that prevents students from fulfilling their potential.

Two year commitment. Full salary and benefits. All professional backgrounds encouraged to apply. Sign up on Teach For America's website to learn more about our program and the application timeline and process. The final application deadline for the 2013 corps is Friday, February 15th.
