Teach for All

What Teach for All does

Teach For All is a global nonprofit network organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in New York City, with a regional governance presence in London. The organization coordinates 63 independent partner organizations across 63 countries on six continents, each of which recruits teachers (referred to as fellows) for two-year placements in under-resourced public schools. Teach For All operates as the central coordination body facilitating cross-border learning, partnership orchestration, research, and global advocacy across the network. Founded and led by CEO Wendy Kopp, who also founded Teach For America in 1990, the central team is small (51-100 employees at HQ) relative to the network's global footprint.

The organization's core product surface consists of platforms and programmatic initiatives rather than commercial software. Key platforms include the Connect platform (connect.teachforall.org) for teacher and alumni engagement, the Partner Learning Portal and Learning & Insights Hub (learning.teachforall.org) for knowledge sharing, and digital infrastructure supporting the 63 partner organizations. Proprietary intellectual assets include the Teaching as Collective Leadership framework (encompassing connectedness, awareness, mastery, agency, and wellbeing), the Future of Work Initiative with global learning communities in STEM, financial education, and digital literacy, the Climate Education and Leadership program, the Student Leader Advisory Council (SLAC) engaging 600+ students annually, the Global Student Voice Accelerator, the EmployEd Chat industry-conversation series, and the ClimaLab community of practice. The Global Institute for Shaping a Better Future coordinates the network's convening function, including the annual Better Future Forum.

Teach For All's revenue model is philanthropic rather than commercial. The organization is funded through individual donations, foundation grants, institutional grants, and corporate partnerships. Major corporate partners include Dow (multi-year global STEM education partnership across 5+ countries), Anthropic (AI in education partnership announced January 2026), Stellantis Philanthropy (future of work), and historical partners including Credit Suisse, AT&T, EY, Micron, DHL, Atlassian, IG Group, and Alcoa. The organization also operates a Climate Education and Leadership (CEL) Fund that channels grants to network partners, and has received institutional funding from the European Union (Teaching and Learning Innovation Fund), UNICEF, and the Lebanese Ministry of Education. Teach For All operates two primary legal entities — Teach For All, Inc. (US) and Teach For All Network UK — and is GDPR and COPPA compliant. As a nonprofit, audited financial statements from 2022-2025 are published on the website, though specific revenue figures are not disclosed in available materials.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Peace Corps: U.S. government program placing volunteers in education and community-development roles internationally. A much larger and longer-established incumbent with overlapping volunteer-teaching mission, though operating under a government mandate rather than a decentralized non-profit network model.
• UNICEF Education: UN agency with a global education mandate that partners directly with ministries of education. A broad incumbent operating at greater scale and with stronger policy levers; directly comparable as a system-level education-equity actor and an active Teach For All partner on the Lebanon STEAM Lab.
• UNESCO: UN agency setting global education norms and standards. A broad incumbent in the same education-equity space and an active Teach For All collaborator (e.g., Udeshya II STEM bootcamp in Nepal), but operating through policy frameworks rather than direct teacher placement.
• Global Partnership for Education (GPE): Multi-stakeholder international organization funding education in developing countries. Comparable as a large-scale education-finance actor in many of the same 63 countries Teach For All operates in, though GPE primarily channels donor funds to governments rather than placing teachers.

Direct peers

• Teach First (UK): UK-based network partner operating the same two-year leadership-development teaching placement model. Directly comparable in mission, structure, and career-leadership framing, and actively cited by Teach For All as a source of cross-network learning (e.g., Career Leaders programme).
• Teach For India: Large Asia-Pacific network partner operating in 9 Indian cities. Comparable in fellow placement model, urban under-resourced school focus, and alumni leadership pipeline, and one of Teach For All's highest-impact country partners.
• Teach For America: The original U.S. network partner of Teach For All and the model on which the global network was founded. Recruits recent graduates for two-year teaching placements in under-resourced public schools, making it the most directly comparable organization in terms of mission, model, and target population.
• Teach For All Network Partner: Enseña Chile: Chilean network partner operating the same fellow-placement model. Directly comparable in structure and is increasingly visible through COP30 climate-education advocacy, illustrating how country partners both consume and produce network-level IP.

Emerging players

• Room to Read: Global non-profit focused on literacy and girls' education across low-income countries. Comparable in mission and country footprint, with overlapping emphasis on girls' education and systemic literacy outcomes, but operating through direct school-program delivery rather than a partner-network model.

Others

• Ashoka: Global network supporting leading social entrepreneurs, including education-focused founders. Not a direct competitor but a thematically adjacent ecosystem-builder operating a similarly global, fellow-style network model that overlaps with Teach For All's alumni leadership pipeline.
