Teach For America (TFA) seeks passionate, social justice-driven seniors and graduate students of all majors and backgrounds. March 4th is also the first chance for undergraduate juniors or Fall 2016 graduates to apply for early admission to the 2017 corps.
Apply by March 4th (job offers go out April 25 and your decision deadline is May 3) for the Teach For America corps member position, a two year (minimum) teaching commitment (ranges from pre-K to 12th grade) in one of 52 low-income communities across the country. You’ll earn a full salary (up to $51,000/year) and benefits, state teaching certification, and an optional Master’s degree. Beyond the two years, our alumni are change agents, inside and outside of schools, tackling issues in education, law, medicine and beyond.
