Change lives – shape futures. Can you make unforgettable experiences for others? Wendy Kopp, the person behind Teach for America, aimed to tackle educational inequality in the US. In 1989, while a senior at Princeton University, she introduced the idea of a national group of new college graduates dedicating two years to teach in underfunded schools. This concept led to the creation of Teach for America (TFA), a nonprofit that strives to ensure every child receives a high-quality education. She started TFA with 500 teachers in its first year.
Empowering Students and Teachers
Under these committed young teachers, many students who were previously ignored or not well-served started to excel. TFA members became more than teachers; they were mentors, inspirations, and champions for their students’ achievements. TFA drastically changed many students’ lives, giving them access to better education and chances they might not have had otherwise.
Change Lives – Beyond the Classroom
Change lives – shape futures. These unforgettable experiences went beyond the classroom, influencing students’ futures and helping them believe in themselves. Wendy Kopp, through her pioneering spirit and perseverance, created unforgettable moments for both the teachers who discovered meaning in their work, and the students whose lives were immensely improved by their teachers’ commitment and belief.
