About the Organization

Teach For India was founded in 2008. Inspired by Teach For America’s journey, we worked with McKinsey & Company to craft a blueprint around the belief that all children must attain an excellent education.

About the Fellowship

The Teach For India Fellowship is an empowering movement to revolutionise education in India.

As a Fellow, you will gain invaluable teaching and leadership skills and join a vast network of like-minded educators and mentors. You will become a part of an Alumni network of influential change agents and advocates for educational equity.

Foster lifelong connections and collaborations, gain unique perspectives and create lasting impact.

Apply to the Fellowship if you want to:

• Reimagine: equitable, excellent education for all children.
• Lead: through challenges and achieve ambitious goals.
• Grow: in your ability to reflect, continuously learn and problem solve, and thrive in diverse collaborations.

Teach For India offers you the chance to make a real difference in tackling one of India's most pressing challenges — educational inequity. By placing you in an underserved classroom, the Fellowship is an opportunity to impact the lives of entire classroom(s) of children. You develop your leadership skills which are critical in today's dynamic global work environment. The Fellowship Program allows you to become a part of the solution and grow as a change agent in society. In short, the Teach For India Fellowship is an opportunity for you to:

• Find Your Purpose: Develop an awareness of how poverty and inequity impacts India's children. Discover your values, strengths and areas of development, passion and purpose.
• Become a Leader: Deliver bold possibilities for students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to realise their full potential. Build concrete leadership skills of envisioning, stakeholder management planning, execution and reflection in challenging environments.
• Join a Movement: Work with diverse stakeholders towards a shared vision. Become part of a movement of 4,000+ Fellows across India and countless more globally who will be your lifelong partners in this work.
• Drive Change: Work at the grassroots level, and impact the lives of children and their families. Don't just talk about the India you envision. Build an India free of poverty and filled with love.
