Our Purpose
Developing collective leadership to ensure all children can fulfill their potential
Millions of children lack the education, support, and opportunity they need to thrive
The obstacles they face—poverty, hunger, discrimination, trauma, and school systems that do not provide them with the education they need—are overwhelming.
Tackling this complex challenge requires collective leadership
Changing outcomes for children requires changes in policy, practice, and culture—which means it requires people exercising leadership at every level of education and government, from inside and outside of the system.
Meaningful, sustainable change also takes many people working together across lines of difference and levels of power, and led by those who have experienced the inequities being addressed. We call this collective leadership.
Around the world, Teach For All network partners are developing collective leadership to ensure all children can fulfill their potential.
Our Vision
We envision a world where all children have the education, support, and opportunity to shape a better future for themselves and all of us.

How we get there
Our Approach
Teach For All network partners build deep relationships with communities committed to making long-term progress for children.
They recruit their nations’ diverse, promising leaders to commit at least two years to teach in marginalized communities, and support and develop them to work together with families and community members towards a shared vision for student success.
With this foundation, as alumni these leaders continue to work with other educators, allies, and communities to improve the quality of education for students and effect the systemic changes needed to enable all children to thrive.
Through the global network, staff members, teachers, alumni, and allies around the world share solutions to accelerate each other's progress and increase our collective impact.
These collective, sustained efforts are contributing to progress in communities all over the world that are working to provide all of their children with the education, support, and opportunity to fulfill their potential.
