Organizations Filed Purposes:
Children growing up in historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities lack access to a broad spectrum of resources and opportunities, and attend schools that are not equipped to meet their unmet needs. To address this, TFA's mission is to find, develop, and support a diverse network of leaders committed to expanding opportunity for children from classrooms, schools, and every sector and field that shapes the broader systems in which schools operate. TFA does this by finding promising leaders; developing and cultivating the leadership skills and mindsets necessary for systems change through classroom teaching; and supporting the individual and collective leadership, relationships, and learning of those in the TFA network throughout their lifetime.
Corps Member Professional Development and Other - TFA develops and cultivates the leadership skills and mindsets necessary for systems-change through classroom teaching. TFA regional staff, in partnership with national support teams, are responsible for coaching corps members, monitoring progress throughout their two-year commitment, providing ongoing professional development, and connecting corps members to the broader network.
Corps Member Recruitment, Selection and Placement - TFA recruits outstanding and diverse leaders early in their careers, who have demonstrated evidence of the values and leadership necessary to expand opportunity and access for all children inside and outside of the classroom. Major activities include on and off campus recruiting events, processing applications, and conducting interviews, and strategically placing applicants to regions that best match qualifications and preferences. In 2020, TFA placed corps members in 50 urban and rural regions throughout the United States and provided assistance through a need based financial aid program to support them with their moves to these regions.
Pre-Service Institute - TFA provides intensive summer training for incoming corps members, led by staff and in partnership with local public school districts. In Summer 2019, approximately 3,100 corps members were trained at one of our four institute sites run by the national organization: Atlanta (GA), Houston (TX), Philadelphia (PA), and Tulsa (OK) or at one of our 16 regional training sites: Bay Area, Chicago - Northwest Indiana, Dallas - Fort Worth, Delta (rural region collective), Detroit, Eastern North Carolina, Houston, Las Vegas Valley, Los Angeles (regional collective), Massachusetts, Memphis, Miami (regional collective), Milwaukee, Nashville, New York, and Phoenix.
