Teach For America launched in Austin in the fall of 2019 as the first “alumni-forward” region in the country, and entering the 2025-2026 school year, Teach For America Greater Austin will welcome its charter corps!
Our network works in every corner of Austin’s education landscape—teaching in classrooms, leading campuses, and designing policy as elected officials. Our alumni provide wrap-around services, advocate for student-centered policies, and professional development for our classroom and campus leaders. Outside of the classroom, we have a growing network of alumni working in technology, law and policy, as well as government officials. Together we make up a passionate and committed network working with students and families to ensure access to opportunity for all Austinites.
