Leveraging the support of the local authorities, parents, school principals, teachers, students, and other key stakeholders and other local NGOs. Teach For Kenya is:

• Supporting the capacity development of the existing pool of teachers in Nairobi and Kisumu County by recruiting and selecting committed teachers to become Teach For Kenya fellows who can benefit from the initial training and ongoing support. We also offer opportunities for ongoing support to teachers that are not part of the fellowship through the Teacher Professional Development Program by partnering with the county government and primary schools.
•  Preparing primary students for a successful transition to secondary education by placing Teach For Kenya fellows as teacher leaders for two years in Kenya’s most under-resourced primary schools and communities. The fellows go through a six-week intensive training program, to prepare them for the journey ahead. They focus their teaching on English, Math, and Science in grades 2 – 6 through practical instruction, while also developing socio-emotional and 21st-century skills in their students, helping expand the pipeline for leadership in Kenya.
• Strengthening parent engagement and support for children’s education by developing mindsets and skills in fellows to work alongside community members, families, and local leaders toward a shared vision for student success. In particular, Teach For Kenya works with parents to build a deep understanding of the importance of education for all.
• Each TFK Fellow participates in a design challenge during their second year in the fellowship to solve existing challenges in the community which begins to plant seeds for locally-led problem-solving. The fellows work with, integrate, and coordinate with parents, guardians, and local government leaders on household challenges hindering children’s enrollment, retention, and successful completion.
