TFL is a member of Teach For All, a global network of similar programs across 60 partner countries, including Teach for America. What we do We achieve our mission by recruiting and selecting high-achieving university graduates from the major universities in Lebanon. Once selected, Fellows complete a six-week intensive training program to build their capacity as teachers and leaders. Fellows are then placed for two years as teachers in public, semi-private, and orphanage schools in poor and rural areas around Lebanon. Throughout the program, Fellows are trained to develop their students' critical thinking skills, civic engagement, and leadership qualities. The impact of our program is threefold: 1) We provide passionate young graduates with meaningful job opportunities. 2) We develop Fellows into leaders dedicated to changing Lebanon's future. 3) We provide underserved children across Lebanon with an impactful education that goes beyond the traditional Lebanese curriculum, developing their critical thinking skills, understanding of gender equity, civic engagement, and ultimately helping to change the trajectory of their lives. Since its inception in 2008, TFL has impacted nearly 56,000 students, 287 Fellows, and 78 schools.
