Ignite builds on Teach For America’s over 30 years of experience partnering with communities across the country to help students overcome the systemic barriers to an excellent education.
Unequal access to opportunity existed long before the pandemic, but these past few
years have been especially hard for our most vulnerable kids. The pandemic has disproportionately affected low-income communities and communities of color. We see this moment as an opportunity to start building the education system we’ve been fighting for over the last 30 years: one that allows every child to learn, lead, thrive, and co-create a future filled with possibility.
As an Ignite Fellow, you will lead small group virtual learning experiences with students with the support of veteran educators. This is a part-time, paid opportunity to build meaningful relationships with youth, accelerate student success and gain skills that propel forward your own leadership. Fellows work approximately 5 hours per week during regular K-12 school hours and receive a $1200 (pre-tax) award at the conclusion of their fellowship term.
Spring Fellowship Dates: January 30 - April 28, 2023
Application Deadline: Sunday, December 18 at 11:59 pm
