Teach For America’s 2017 corps is among the most diverse in its history. Nearly half of incoming corps members identify as people of color; 43 percent come from low-income backgrounds; and 1 in 3 are the first in their family to graduate college.

The more than 3,500 individuals joining our work this year will impact 53 regions across 36 states and the District of Columbia. They represent more than 720 colleges and universities, and join a network of more than 50,000 leaders shaping the political, economic, and social future of our country.
