A NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT OF LEADERS

In order to solve Armenia’s education crisis, we must generate a movement of leaders who will push for educational justice, and leadership starts in our communities with our students through their teachers.

CREATING BRIGHT SPOTS

**At Teach For Armenia, we believe that our communities are full of infinite possibilities,* and our students have the power to unlock that potential.**

Through our teachers,
we aim to foster leadership in our students while creating hundreds and thousands of bright spots across the nation that can inspire change across the nation.

REACHING A TIPPING POINT

To create this movement, we must achieve a tipping point.** Sociologists believe that in order to achieve a tipping point, you must reach at least 25% of a given population.***

For that reason, Teach For Armenia aims to reach scale by 2025 by reaching a quarter of all students living in Armenia’s rural communities.

At present, with a presence in 10% of all public schools across the country, Teach For Armenia reaches a fifth of all students living in our rural communities

To learn more about our long-term goals, read about Teach For Armenia’s Response to the Education Crisis and take a look at our Aragast (i.e. the organization’s long-term strategy).
