Teach For India is a nationwide movement that aims to eliminate inequity in education in India. 

Teach For India believes that one day all children will attain an excellent education and aims to build a movement of leaders who will work to eliminate educational inequity.

In the short-term, through our Fellowship program, we provide an opportunity to India's brightest and most promising individuals, from the nation's best universities and workplaces, to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in some of the nation's most under-resourced schools. Through this experience of teaching in classrooms and working with key education stakeholders like students, principals, and parents, our Fellows get exposed to the grassroots realities of India's education system and begin to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in the education system and identify their role in building a larger movement for equity in education.

In the long-term, we engage these leaders, our Alumni, and support this growing community to advocate for change. Our Alumni work in diverse roles within the education sector, as teachers, teacher-trainers, school principals, curriculum designers, and education policy researchers, as well as in the ecosystem surrounding and supporting the education sector, as journalists, lawyers, health experts, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders, all with a shared purpose to build a broad people's movement for educational equity that will accelerate progress towards that day when all children in India have the opportunity to attain an excellent education so that we, as a nation, can find our light and our true potential.
