Yes, to complete the application you will need to write two short-answer responses (450 words maximum for each) about why you are interested in joining Teach For America and your greatest accomplishment. Similar to writing a “cover letter” for a job application, this is an opportunity for you to share why you want to join the corps and why you think you would be a good fit. Your answers to these questions helps us learn more about your motivations and interest in joining the corps, as well as your achievements. If you are invited to the interview, we may ask you to expand on your responses to these questions.
