San Diego is now a TFA alumni innovation region! To meet the vision we hold for educational excellene in San Diego and reach our 2030 goals as an organization, we must have the courage to approach our work differently. At TFA San Diego, that means we are pivoting from the traditional corps member model and focus now on the power and promise of our alumni.
