About Leadership for Educational Equity

Leadership for Educational Equity (LEE) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501 (c)4 leadership development organization dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to attain an excellent education. By developing a new, diverse generation of leaders and inspiring them to take action on behalf of kids, we believe we can close the opportunity gap and achieve educational equity in our time.

LEE is focused on inspiring and empowering our members to pursue leadership opportunities in the areas of policy, elected office, advocacy and organizing. We aim to foster the individual and collective leadership of our members by developing their capacity to effectively shape and set policies that have the greatest possible impact on educational opportunities for all children.

LEE currently has a membership base of over 18,000 Teach for America alumni in 43 regions across the United States. Our members are grounded in the experience of teaching in low-income communities, a deep belief in the potential of all children, and a commitment to ending educational inequity and creating life-changing opportunities for all students.

LEE is a high-growth, results-oriented organization that operates in an entrepreneurial environment and is committed to continuous improvement.
