Jacksonville is a special region for Teach For America, thanks to the unusually close partnership that has developed between our corps, alumni, and the broader community.  We are proud to be a central partner in The Community Foundation’s "Quality Education For All" reform initiative, which was a critical factor in bringing Teach For America – as well as KIPP, the widely respected national charter school network – to the region.  The county’s ambitious goals for the next five years give corps members the opportunity to take on big responsibility, inside and outside the classroom.

But our work is only beginning. Teach For America • Jacksonville is still a new region and we are continuing to build the corps and recruit a strong alumni base to the area. With change taking hold across the county, corps members and alumni that come to Jacksonville are pioneers in improving the quality of education in Florida’s largest city.
