America</b></font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Teach For America is
the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates of all
academic majors who commit two years to teach in urban and rural
public schools and become lifelong leaders in the effort to expand
educational opportunity. Our mission is to build the movement to
eliminate educational inequity that exists along socioeconomic
lines.</font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Since our founding in
1990, we have become the nation's largest provider of teachers for
low-income communities, and have been recognized for building a
pipeline of leaders committed to educational equity and excellence.
This year, approximately 5,000 corps members are teaching in 26 urban
and rural areas across the country, collectively reaching
approximately 440,000 students. At the same time, more than 12,000
alumni are working within education and from every field to effect
fundamental change.</font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">We are a high-growth,
performance-driven organization, with over a $100+ million budget and
800+ staff. We operate in an entrepreneurial and fast-paced work
environment, maintain focus on quantitative measures, and are
committed to continuous improvement. While approximately 55 percent of
our staff members are alumni of our program, nearly half - from
support staff to senior management - bring a range of outside
experience and perspectives to the organization. Our staff is diverse
in every respect, and we are committed to maximizing the diversity of
our organization as we want to engage all those who can contribute to
our effort and ensure our access to and participation in the circles
of influence in our diverse society.</font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Fueled by a sense of
urgency to do more, we have launched an ambitious plan to grow in
scale while at the same time increasing our corps members'
short-term and long-term impact. By 2010, we aim to have some 7,500
corps members teaching in 33 regions and to foster the continued
leadership of some 23,000 alumni. To support these goals we are
working to grow our operating budget to over $150 million and the size
of our staff to over 1,000.</font></blockquote>
