About Teach For Ukraine

Teach For Ukraine (TFU) believes that every child in Ukraine – regardless of where they are born – deserves the opportunity to attain an excellent education and develop their full potential. Our mission is to build a movement of diverse and inspiring leaders who will work to end education inequity in our country, starting by teaching full-time for two years in rural schools through our leadership development program.

Through the highly selective, highly rigorous leadership development program, participants develop critical knowledge and first-hand understanding of Ukraine’s education system and the challenges it faces. With intensive training and support from TFU, fellows help transform the lives of their students, schools and communities while enhancing their own leadership skills. Alumni of the program (and, over time, their students) will become the next generation of Ukrainian leaders in education, business, government, nonprofit sector and other fields. Informed by their experience, they will work from inside and outside the education system to affect the fundamental changes necessary to ensure equitable education opportunities for all children.

As a start-up nonprofit organization working towards an ambitious goal in a challenging environment, we are looking for an exceptional individual who is both self-directed and a strong team player to add to our dynamic staff and help fulfill our mission.
