Teach for America is an organization that not only service Pennsylvania but also many other states in the east, west, and Midwest area. Teach for America is an organization who mission is to continue growing leaders who will work to ensure that kids growing up in poverty get an excellent education. I like this organization because they want to change the statistic that just 8% of kids growing up in low-income communities graduate from college by the age 24. This organization create change in all the communities that they teach in. This organization was of interest to me because I want to create change in the low-income community that i reside in. I want children here to be well educated and be prepared for college. There are several teaching positions that are available but all of them are outside of Pennsylvania. Many of the western stats have a greater need for teachers. In order to become a teacher for this organization you must hold a Bachelor degree, high school diploma, GPA of 2.5 or higher, and US Citizenship or National/ Permanent Resident Status.
