Teach For America
Diminishing the Educational Gap
Teach For America (TFA) is a USA-wide non-profit organization
which works at building a national corps of outstanding recent
college graduates of all academic majors and career interests who
commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools and
become leaders in the effort to expand educational opportunity in
the nation.
TFA overall objective is to eliminate educational inequity by
enlisting the nation's most promising future leaders in the
effort.
The Greater New Orleans chapter has been selected as from 2007
for support from Trafigura Foundation, after Katrina hurricane had
devastated the public school system in the poorest districts of the
urban community.
In 2010, The Foundation extended its support to the TFA
branches in Connecticut and in Houston for another 3 years, i.e
until 2012.
