Teach For America (TFA)

Abigail Smith.

TFA recruits recent college graduates to commit two years to teach in low-income urban and rural communities. Since 1990, TFA has recruited approximately 14,000 new teachers, who together have taught more than 2 million students. More than 60 percent of TFA's teachers have stayed in education as teachers, principals, school founders and education policy advisors.
