Alumni impact

Many of the 17,000 Teach For America alumni continue to work for educational equity throughout their careers. A significant number hold leadership roles in education—as veteran teachers, principals, district leaders, and superintendents—in high-need communities across the country.

A growing number of alumni work for educational equity through fields such as politics, policy and advocacy, and social entrepreneurship. The vast majority of our alumni, regardless of career path, remain committed to our mission well beyond their two-year teaching commitments. In fact, 93 percent report that they support Teach For America's mission through career, philanthropy, volunteer work, and/or graduate study.

Our alumni tackle some of the most challenging issues affecting children in low-income communities. Read more about their work and their impact across the nation.
