Teach for the Philippines

Teach for the Philippines (TFP) is a for-purpose, non-stock, non-profit organization that aims to accelerate education reform in the country by developing leaders with a deep understanding of the public school system as well as the drive and commitment to work towards positive and meaningful change. Every year, we look for these promising young leaders all over the country—Filipinos driven by their desire to grow professionally, to become the best leader they can be, and to serve for a purpose which goes beyond oneself. Para sa bata at para sa bayan. We enlist some of our country’s promising young leaders, regardless of degree or professional background, to teach in a Philippine public school for two years through our Fellowship Program. This program aims to develop these young leaders into teachers who can significantly improve student learning outcomes and leaders who can spark positive changes in the public school communities and contribute to education reform. We do this by providing training, personalized coaching, and mentorship along with the transformative experience of working for and with our public school communities.
