At Teach for America Phoenix we have a goal that by 2030, twice as many children in communities where we work will enroll in college, indicating they are on a path to economic mobility and co-creating a future filled with possibility. We understand that a critical role alumni play is supporting and pursuing this goal as successful school leaders. The Teach For America Phoenix team works with Arizona State University to retain alumni in Arizona and attract alumni from other regions to meet our mutual goal of training exceptional educators to take on leadership roles in Arizona schools.
