  • About Us

    The vision of Generation Teach is to end racial injustice and inequity in education. Our mission is to co-create loving communities where generations of students, teachers, and leaders learn, grow, and develop. Our core values are belonging, investment, collaboration, growth, and excellence.

    We partner with districts and charter schools to:

    1. Engage elementary- and middle-school students in summer learning.
    2. Invest undergraduate and high-school students in teaching.
    3. Develop professional teachers as leaders.

    We facilitate learning experiences that center the history, stories, and strength of people of color and provide all participants with windows and mirrors of their own lived experiences. On average, our summer teaching fellows are:

    • 75% people of color
    • 60% Black and/or Latinx
    • 75% local - they grew up or attend college in our communities
    • 40% First Gen

    At Generation Teach, we are on a journey to increase our consciousness, develop as antiracists, and become better allies and ancestors. Since 2014, we have co-created learning communities where over 5,000 5th-8th-grade students, 1,000 undergraduate and high-school students, and 280 professional teachers have learned, grown, and developed.
