Teach For India began in 2009 with an audacious vision that all children could attain an excellent education. Over the last decade, Teach for India’s goal has been to build a movement of leaders who will eliminate this educational inequity in India.

Leadership is at the heart of our mission. Our transformative two-year Fellowship exposes Fellows to the unjust realities and glorious opportunities that our children grapple with, shattering the stained-glass window through which we view the socio-economic condition in India. Each empowered individual that emerges from this experience helps fuel the larger movement towards our vision.
Not too long ago, we welcomed our first ever cohort of 87 Fellows into the next phase of their impact – the Alumni movement.
As accelerated as our progress may be, the puzzle of educational equity is one that requires fierce focus, sustained effort, and a big heart. And younger, invested champions — tomorrow’s hope — are vitally important to what we do, infusing energy, perspective, and compassion into our movement.
Our community of well-wishers have seen us through some of the most crucial years of our journey during our previous decade, including during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their unequivocal belief in the potential of our children and the critical impact of our programs has allowed us to go forth unafraid in our mission.
