Teach For India believes that in order for the country to achieve educational equity for all children, we need a movement of leaders across sectors who are committed to and will work toward ensuring that every child in India receives an excellent education.

• To build this movement of leaders, Teach For India recruits India's most outstanding college graduates and young professionals to serve as teachers in low-income schools for two years.In the short run, these young leaders act as a source of dedicated teachers in government and low-income private schools. Teach For India provides resources, training, and support to the Fellows so they can employ innovative teaching strategies and maximize their effectiveness in the classroom. During the two-years, Fellows gain important knowledge and experience of India's educational system and its challenges, which enables them to provide solutions to problems faced within their classrooms and school communities.

• In the long-run, Teach For India will build a powerful and ever-growing leadership force of alumni who, informed by their experiences and insights, will work from inside and outside the educational system to effect fundamental, long-term changes necessary to ultimately realize educational opportunity for all. Upon completion of their two years of service, Teach For India Alumni will collaborate through the organization's Alumni Network, and regardless of the career path they choose after their Teach For India Fellowship, will work toward fighting educational inequity in India.
