What Ensena por Mexico does

Enseña por México (ExM), legally constituted as Enseña por México, I.A.P., is a Mexican nonprofit association (Institución de Asistencia Privada) founded in 2011 by Erik Ramírez Ruíz and headquartered in Cuauhtémoc, Ciudad de México. The organization's mission is to reduce educational inequity by training and placing young professionals, known as Profesionales de Enseña por México (PEM), in public schools serving low-resource communities across 14 Mexican states. The flagship offering is a two-year Leadership Program that combines three integrated components — Community Educational Incidence (classroom placement), Professionalization (a fully funded Master's in Education delivered online through Universidad Tecmilenio, including PMBOK and instructional design certifications), and Leadership Development (continuous training). The program operates in three modalities: Early Childhood (ages 0-6, through CACI/CAIC centers), Primary/Secondary, and Upper Secondary.

The organization operates as an independent partner within the Teach For All global network, has formal state-level agreements with education authorities, and runs a structured annual application process (Convocatoria) with multi-stage psychometric, collaborative, and creative evaluation. It maintains a research and publications arm producing annual reports, contributions to World Bank Blogs, and academic articles in outlets such as Revista Salud Mental. Participants receive monthly living stipends of MXN $10,500-12,000, funded through donations and philanthropic contributions from individuals, recurring monthly givers, and partner organizations.

The business model is donation-based: revenue streams include individual recurring donations, tax-deductible one-time gifts (processed via online platform and PayPal), and an annual fundraising event (Noche Unidxs por la Educación). Financial statements are published on the website for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, but specific revenue amounts are not disclosed. The organization supports a growing alumni network of 989 graduates, who work across public policy, social innovation, academia, civil society, and private sector, and has impacted more than 210,000 children and youth across its 12-year operating history.
