OPEN A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES
Through Teach For Armenia you could launch your own startup as an entrepreneur through Káits, Teach For Armenia’s Social Innovation Incubator.
You could even learn how to code through Tech4Armenia and become a programmer working in educational technology.
Or, you could pursue graduate studies at a top-ranked university that provides Teach For Armenia alumni with special consideration.
Alternatively, through our anticipated Public Policy Lab & Ph.D. Scholarship, you could become a policymaker or researcher who influences system-wide change.
Perhaps instead you will become the principal of your own school through Seroond.
All of these are exclusive opportunities available to Teach For Armenia’s alumni. The first step is joining our two-year Teacher Leadership Program (a.k.a. “Program”).

ISKUHI ASATRYAN
6th cohort
“Before applying to Teach For Armenia I was working as a teacher, but the lack of self-confidence prevented me to show up my creativity. Thanks to Teach For Armenia I discovered my full potential which quickly promoted me and I was appointed as the vice-principal of the school. I began to get to know myself better, discover my possibilities, my students, and my community. I shared with my colleagues the skills and opportunities I acquired within the framework of the two-year program. I also consider the discovery and development of leadership skills as one of the most important achievements, as a result of which I had a career change. Through Teach For Armenia I gained irreplaceable friends, a large and stable team, self-discoveries, new opportunities, and leadership skills.”
ANUSH AMIRBEKYAN
4th cohort
“Joining Teach For Armenia was a drastic decision, for which I thank myself every day. I have been in love with the work of a journalist since my school years, and after graduating I started my career as a journalist but my steps were taken to another field. Actually, there were several reasons for the changes. First, I did not adapt to the political issues that I wrote about every day. Soon it became boring and even unpleasant. I decided to apply for the Erasmus + program and I left the country with the European volunteering program. I was lucky to work with foreign children, which changed a lot in me. Returning to Armenia, I applied to Teach For Armenia. To say Teach For Armenia gave me a lot is just to say nothing. I have broken many stereotypes in myself, especially about the school, the role of the teacher, in general, and the role of the individual. Now I am more self-confident, I believe that only by loving work it is possible to achieve success, to have an influence on the people around me. I have acquired students who look at life more colorfully, a favorite job, a new environment. I have developed courage, patience and perseverance.”
