Established in 2008, Teach For China (TFC) is inspired by the vision that one day, all Chinese children will have access to a quality education. Teach For China takes a unique approach to eliminating educational inequity by enlisting the U.S. and China's most promising future leaders in the effort. In partnership with the global network {{http://www.teachforall.org, Teach For All}}, recruits, selects, trains and supports outstanding U.S. and Chinese graduates to work side-by-side to deliver an excellent education in high poverty, rural Chinese communities.
In the short-term, Teach For China's fellows are placed in full-time, two-year teaching commitments at under-resourced schools, where they meet the pressing need for exceptional educators. In the long-term, Teach For China supports its alumni -- equipped with the experience, conviction, and insight that comes from leading children to fulfill their potential -- to be a force for change, working from across sectors to expand educational opportunity.
