Teach For America Rio Grande Valley

Teach For America Rio Grande Valley One day, all children in the Rio Grande Valley will attain an excellent education.

We see increasing evidence that all children in South Texas can achieve at levels comparable or in excess of their wealthier peers across the nation; however, the reality is that there are far too few examples of tremendous student achievement and attainment for the 400,000 students in schools in the Rio Grande Valley. We believe that we must have stronger and more consistent focus on advancing an

unshakable belief in the possibility and necessity of providing all children with an excellent education, building leadership at every level in order to advance this belief and build networks in accordance with our core values.

35 years ago, Teach For America was a startup with a mission. Today, we are a systemic force.​
️​
In 1990, we set out to prove what was possible. Thirty-five years later, we aren’t just celebrating history, we are accelerating momentum. To meet a rapidly changing world, we have evolved our brand to reflect the bold, future-focused movement our students deserve.​

This is more than a new look. It is a commitment to the next era of leadership.​

From the classroom on Day One to the alumni reimagining education for One Day, this is where aspiration meets action. The future is powered by the collective strength of our staff, corps members, and supporters. Our new identity is a reflection of that power.​

Welcome to the next era. Welcome to The Power of Us.
