“Leadership at all levels is what we need to take all children on a journey to their fullest potential.

I wonder what the world would look like if we learned more from our children.”

Our Purpose

We believe that one day all children will realize their full potential. To make this vision a reality, we empower mobilizers like Teach for India with intellectual, human, and financial resources to ensure all children can attain an excellent education.

Supporting The Fellowship

Leadership is at the heart of our mission. Since 2009, Teach For India has been building a movement of leaders to operate across every level of the education system to ensure all children receive an excellent education. Their transformative two-year teaching Fellowship exposes Fellows to the complex circumstances and glorious opportunities that children grapple with, yielding an in-depth understanding of each child's socio-economic condition. Every empowered individual that emerges from this experience becomes a life-long champion for education and helps fuel the larger movement towards our vision.

The Multiplier Effect

Driving Impact with Depth and Scale. The Fellows, in addition to delivering deeply powerful academic outcomes for over 30,000 students during the Fellowship,  collectively drive transformative impact at scale as the Alumni. Over 70% continue in the education sector solving some of the toughest problems inhibiting the delivery of an excellent education to all.

Today, through continued collective action, we’ve built a strong movement of 5,000 Alumni who impact 1 in 10 children across the country.

A New Generation of Champions

As accelerated as our progress may be, helping each child realize their full potential requires fierce focus, sustained effort, and a big heart. And younger, invested champions created — tomorrow’s hope — are vitally important to what we do, infusing energy, perspective, and compassion into our movement. 

Our Supporters

Our community of well-wishers have seen us through some of the most crucial years of our journey, including during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their unequivocal belief in the potential of all children and the critical impact of our programs has allowed us to go forth unafraid in our mission.

Seeds of Phase 4

In our new decade at Teach For India, we’re refining what leadership in teaching looks like, while evolving our organizational strategy to cultivate a more impactful and diverse network of leaders across the country.

‍A jug fills drop by drop. Each one of us – wherever we are, whatever we do – has something meaningful, something powerful to contribute to our movement of leaders who endeavor to elevate the 250 million Indian children towards a better future. It is our hope and conviction that the larger community of supporters will continue to empower and guide us along our way.
