Looking for work with real stakes, real responsibility, and a role that will genuinely shape where you go next? Join Teach For America staff members for a virtual informational session on Tuesday, September 8 at 8:00pm EST! You'll learn more about the opportunities we offer, the issues we are trying to tackle together, and how you can get involved. The first 30 minutes will address the most common questions we receive:

1. What is Teach For America?
2. What and where will I teach?
3. What will my salary and finances look like?
4. How does teacher certification work?
5. How will I be trained and supported?

Our remaining time will be spent in open Q&A, at which point you can get your specific questions answered. We will also be sending follow-up resources ahead of our upcoming application deadline.

We hope to see you there!

Teaching is hard work. It gets easier when you're not doing it alone.

Our Corps Member Summits are days when Teach For America Alabama corps members come together to sharpen their skills, share what's actually happening in their classrooms, and learn from each other. This time, sessions covered navigating conflict, building relationships with students and families, and more.

Want to invest in students? Start by investing in teachers.

We're grateful for every CM who spent their Saturday with us, choosing to grow.
