Teach For All

Teach For All is a global network of independent social enterprises that promote educational opportunity by enlisting their nations' future leaders to teach for two years in their highest-need communities and become lifelong leaders for educational excellence and equity. The network's potential is evident in the impact of its founding members, Teach For America in the United States and Teach First in the United Kingdom. Both programs have demonstrated a significant impact on student achievement outcomes and educational reform in their countries, propelling changes that have improved students' opportunities for success, particularly for those who have been historically underserved. The early successes of new programs in 16 other countries around the world – from Peru to Lebanon to India and China – indicate that the model can be successfully adapted to other contexts. Teach For All's mission is to expand educational opportunity internationally by increasing and accelerating the impact of the partnering social enterprises in our network. We achieve this by providing direct support services and fostering a powerful network among the enterprises and their participants, with the goal of maximizing the organizations' scale, impact on student achievement and alumni leadership, and organizational strength. Based on growing interest worldwide, we anticipate the network could include 50 organizations by 2015.
