Resources for employers and grad schools

Teach For America corps members and alumni are smart, goal-oriented individuals who have a proven track record of outstanding achievement and exceptional leadership skills. After their two-year teaching commitment, our alumni work in all fields - education, policy, law, medicine, business, the nonprofit sector, among them – and assume leadership roles in their professional and civic lives.

There are several free and easy ways you can get your opportunities in front of interested Teach For America alumni and corps members.

Post on the Job and Opportunity Board
Log into the Career and Leadership Center’s Job and Opportunity Board, or JOB, to post full-time and part-time job openings, internships, grant opportunities, fellowship announcements, and graduate school information for Teach For America alumni and corps members. You can also search for and review resumes of alumni who have expressed interest in the types of roles you are looking to fill.

Have an open board position you are looking to fill?
Use JOB to post your nonprofit or charter school board opportunity and to search for candidates.

Feature opportunities in our career newsletters
Teach For America distributes career newsletters in teaching, school leadership, private sector careers, social entrepreneurship, politics and policy. Each month, we feature opportunities in our career newsletters that we feel align with the diverse interests and needs of our alumni. If you are interested in having your opportunities featured in our newsletters, post them on JOB and then email clc@teachforamerica.org. Please note that we cannot feature all the opportunities that come our way.

Access alumni interested in your career path through our resume collections
We run different resume collections throughout the year during which we receive resumes from hundreds of alumni interested in school leadership, teaching, business, technology, engineering and policy and advocacy leadership. If you are looking to fill roles in these career paths, please email clc@teachforamerica.org to learn more about these collections.

Over 150 graduate schools, including top-ranked business, law, medicine, public policy, and education programs, offer alumni benefits such as two-year deferrals, fellowships, course credits, and waived application fees.
