Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Life as a Corps Member

Are corps members paid while attending Pre-Service training?

Teach For America corps members do not receive a salary during pre-service. Corps members are not employees of Teach For America and thus are not paid a salary by Teach for America.  However, all incoming corps members receive a stipend to offset some of the costs of onboarding and transitioning into the corps.
