As we approach our 25th Anniversary, Teach For America is pursuing an evolved strategic direction that is rooted in the belief that providing all kids with an excellent education is possible within our lifetime.

Reaching this new milestone will let us know that the broad national movement for equity and excellence has succeeded:

95% of children living in low-income communities will graduate from high school prepared for success in college and career.

Why not 100%? For some children growing up with profound learning differences or in extremely exceptional circumstances, college is not the appropriate proxy for success. 100% of children deserve an excellent education that meets their individual needs.
