The goal is to offer requisite training and education to the “Fellows”, who in turn will provide the community leadership to help end educational inequity and inadequacy. The Fellowship promotes a gender-balanced, wholesome and a productive educational environment throughout the country.

Teacher Fellows gain professional training and support while they expand opportunities for students in the highest-need schools. Fellows attend a teacher training institute, lead a classroom for two years with coaching and support from TFL staff, and develop the leadership and professional skills for the next steps in their careers in the classroom and beyond. As Alumni of the program, past fellows benefit from support ranging from opportunities to apply and secure funding for graduate school to placement in roles in the private and public sector.

Vision: One day, every Liberian child will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.

Mission: To mobilize leaders who will drive the movement towards educational equity and excellence in Liberia.

The fellows are placed in underserved communities across Liberia.
The pre-service institute will take place from July to August. This institute will cover classroom management, teaching methodologies, and local requirements for teacher certification.
You will receive a stipend as a Teach For Liberia Fellow. The stipend they provide is 10% higher than the average entry level salary across Liberia. As this is a Fellowship and not a job, it’s important to note that they do not give salaries.
