Teach for America

Next Deadline: April 19, 2024
(Early Admission)

Our Work

Teach For America is a leadership development organization for those who want to co-create a more just world alongside young people in their communities. Today we are a network of nearly 70,000 leaders who started in the classroom and remain in lifelong pursuit of the vision that one day, all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.

Our Mission

Teach For America finds, develops, and supports equity-oriented leaders–individually and in teams–so they can transform education and expand opportunity with children, starting in the classroom.

Our Why

We envision a world where educators, policymakers, parents, and students are working together to ensure that their communities’ children have the foundation they need to learn, lead, thrive, and shape a better future for themselves and all of us.

What is Educational Inequity?

Educational inequity is the result of systematic racism and/or poverty. Children experiencing this inequity lack the resources and opportunities necessary to thrive in school. This inequity can affect a child's destiny long after they leave the classroom.

Our Goal

In 2020, we set a 10-year goal for our organization's work. By 2030, twice as many children in communities where we work will reach key educational milestones indicating they are on a path to economic mobility and co-creating a future filled with possibility.

Our Approach

The educational inequities our country faces are deeply rooted in systemic racism. Solving them will take many interventions from many directions over a prolonged period of time. Teach For America’s contribution to the effort is leadership.

Our approach draws on historical lessons of what enduring change requires:

  • Leaders both inside and outside of the system, working to challenge the status quo and demonstrate what’s possible.
  • Those most directly impacted by injustice shaping the effort, alongside others with proximity to the complex issues.
  • A broad and diverse coalition of people united around common purpose and shared values, translating lessons into policy and practice.

Learn more: https://www.teachforamerica.org/what-we-do/our-approach

The Basics

Our corps members teach full time for at least two years in schools that are underserved due to systemic racism and/or poverty. Corps members are:

  • Selected by Teach For America
  • Trained and supported by Teach For America
  • Hired by a local school or district
  • Paid the same salary and benefits as other new teachers
  • Certified to teach while in the corps

See an overview of our program: https://www.teachforamerica.org/experience/our-program

Is This For You?

Our corps members come from all academic majors and career backgrounds. This year, 48% identify as BIPOC, 59% come from low-income backgrounds, 66% joined the corps as recent grads, and 29% joined as career changers.

So much of their strength comes from their differences, but they all have a few qualities in common.

  • Believe deeply in kids and families facing systemic racism and/or poverty
  • Have a bold vision beyond the status quo and can create meaningful change
  • Work effectively in collaboration with others of diverse perspectives and backgrounds
  • Operate with curiosity and continuously learn

Why Join

Education is the most powerful lever we have to create a more just world. And it starts with individual kids, classrooms, and communities.

As a teacher, you’ll have a meaningful impact with kids right away. Over time, you will build relationships that change you, find a community, and gain skills that transfer to leadership in any sector.

With Teach For America, you’ll earn a living and live your values every day at work. Check out some of the financial and career benefits corps members receive.

Financial Benefits

  • Full salary, vacation, and health benefits: These come from your school district and salaries range from around $33K - $68K per year, depending on the region
  • Transitional grant: All incoming teachers get a baseline grant to help offset transition and summer training costs
  • Other financial incentives: Including, based on eligibility, AmeriCorps Awards of around $6K per year, the Black Educators Promise Grant, regionally-based signing bonuses, and housing partnerships

Career Benefits

  • Grad school and employer partnerships: Including deferrals, scholarships, fee waivers, internships, and more
  • A diverse and supportive network: 60,000+ alumni and staff, working together in pursuit of educational equity
  • A career and networking website: Exclusively for our network, which includes a job board and the opportunity to connect directly with hiring managers
  • Skill-building and fellowship opportunities: Intended to accelerate impact in school leadership, social entrepreneurship, elected leadership, and more
  • Membership in Leadership for Educational Equity: A nonpartisan nonprofit that supports leaders with classroom experience to engage civically and politically

Become part of Teach For America and discover what’s possible.

Application Components and Tips

*Please be advised that you will not be able to move forward to a particular section without first completing the section that precedes it, but you will be able to save your work and return to the most recently completed section at a later time.

*Do not use your browser's "Back" button while completing the application, as doing so will corrupt the information you've entered.

*Download the application instructions. Read these instructions completely before you begin and have them with you as you complete the application.

*Tech issue? Please submit this form.

*HNIP Staff will switch your application status from "Submitted" to "Eligible" only if the following sections and documents are complete.

  • Education (including current and past higher education institutions)
    • Please make sure to fill out this section completely, with (anticipated) graduation date and answering the "recent grad" question.
  • Resume section
  • Work history
  • Essay
  • Enrollment verification (upload pdf)
    • An enrollment verification verifies that you are currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program. It is sometimes called "proof of enrollment" or "certificate of enrollment." It is usually accessible via your institution's student portal, but, if not, is something you can request from the Registrar's Office on your campus.
    • If needed, you/your institution may use this enrollment verification form provided by HACU.
    • In order to satisfy this requirement, your enrollment verification must be as up to date as possible. Preferably, the enrollment verification confirms your enrollment for the time of the internship, but, otherwise, must verify your enrollment at the time of application.
    • If you are a recent grad, instead of submitting an enrollment verification, please upload a copy of your diploma. If you have graduated, but don't yet have your diploma, you can request a degree verification letter from the Registrar's Office on your campus. If you are submitting your application for a future session during your last term of study, you can upload an enrollment verification, preferably stating your anticipated graduation date.
  • Unofficial transcripts (upload pdf)
    • This is one of the most important parts of your application! Please make sure you are submitting your most recent transcripts. Only up-to-date transcripts will satisfy this application requirement.
    • If you have attended multiple higher education institutions, you must submit transcripts from each institution, unless your most recent institution lists your previous credits as transfer credits.
    • Official transcripts should be emailed to hnip@hacu.net. If electronic delivery is not possible, you may have your sealed, official transcripts mailed to the address below.
    • In order to submit your application, you will need to upload a document in the transcript spot; please upload or type up a confirmation document stating how and when you requested your transcript so that HNIP Staff knows what and when to expect it.
  • 1 letter of recommendation (upload pdf)
    • If your recommender would like to submit the letter directly to HNIP, please have them email it to hnip@hacu.net, making sure to mention your full name. In the meantime, please submit your application with a placeholder document stating who will be sending your letter. Only when your letter is received will your application be considered eligible.
  • 1-3 professional references
    • 1 is required and up to 2 additional are optional

FAQs

Can I apply to HNIP if my institution is not a HSI or HACU member?
Yes! HNIP (with federal agencies) is open to all students, whether your institution is a Hispanic-Serving Institution, HACU member, or not. Please see the eligibility section above for more information.

I am not Hispanic, can I still participate in HNIP?
Yes! In accordance with state and federal law, HACU will not discriminate against employees or applicants for employment because of race, disability, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, or non-job related factors. Please see the eligibility section above for more information.

Who would be my employer and pay me?
HACU serves as your employer on record. HACU is a contractor of the federal government, making interns sub-contractors of the federal government. As your official employer, HACU pays interns.

How does housing work?
If you are selected for a hybrid or in-person internship position and required to relocate to Washington DC, HACU will arrange housing for you.

When applicable, HACU does not pay for housing, but rather fully arranges it and supports interns so there is no upfront cost or burden.

HACU will arrange for you to live with other interns, choose an appropriate apartment and location close to work and necessities, and provide furnishings so you just need to bring your suitcase. HACU ensures that there is no credit check, no security deposit, and no upfront costs (e.g. administrative fees, move-in fees, or first month's rent). Interns will have their total rent for the entire session equally divided and deducted from their bi-weekly paychecks.

All HACU interns can choose to instead arrange their own housing and manage payments on their own if they would like.

How is travel arranged and covered?
As a way to support interns if selected for a hybrid or in-person internship and relocating. Transportation to your housing for the first time will also be arranged and covered.

Can I participate in the spring session if I am graduating in fall?
Most of the internship positions require interns to be currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program during the time of the internship. There are a limited number of positions available to recent graduates. One position that is available is HNIP's Conduit Program with the Library of Congress.

I will be graduating in spring and I plan on attending graduate school the fall. Will I be paid as a graduate student for the summer before graduate school?
No. Your pay rate is determined by your degree level at the time of the internship. Please see the pay rates information above.

If there are specific positions or agencies I am interested in, should I mention them in my application?
The only place in your application that we would suggest specifying positions or agencies is as a separate sentence before starting your actual essay. Otherwise, we highly encourage keeping your application generic since HACU can submit your application to multiple agencies. You don't want to limit your options and miss out on the perfect opportunity.

In general, we suggest that you complete your application in a way that demonstrates your skills and goals. In doing so, you keep your options open and will not miss out on a perfect match between your own goals and those of varying agencies. Please recognize that a generic application does NOT mean lacking details. Load your application with details as they are what truly paints a picture of you and your skills and goals.

How many hours per week is an internship?
Internships are 40-hours per week. However, some agencies are able to accommodate part-time interns, with a minimum of 20-hours per week.

What does my application status mean?
As an applicant, prior to being selected, the three statuses you need to be aware of are as follows:

  • In Progress - exactly as it sounds; you have not yet submitted your application
  • Submitted - you have submitted your application and either a) HNIP Staff need to review it for completeness or b) it is incomplete, likely missing the appropriate documents
  • Eligible - HNIP Staff have reviewed your application and it is complete; your application is eligible for consideration

How can I edit my application after submitting it?
After submitting your application, you are only able to edit your general contact information. If you would like to upload different documents, please email the PDF(s) to hnip@hacu.net, making sure to mention your full name, application session, and document type(s). If you would like to edit the resume section, work history, and/or education portion(s) of your application, please email hnip@hacu.net with the details, and we will either complete the edits (if simple and quick) or change your application back to in progress for you to edit and resubmit.

What should I do if I am having a technology issue with my application?
We are sorry to hear that you are a having a technology difficulty. Please submit a ticket here and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.

When will I be notified if I am selected or not? What is the selection process?
Once your application status is switched to eligible, your application is considered for all available positions. When HNIP receives internship openings, staff reviews the eligible applicant pool and submits applications for consideration by the agency.
HNIP continually receives position requests from agencies. Some submit requests months in advance, whereas others submit their requests a few weeks before a session starts. After filling the last position for a session, likely a few weeks into the session, we will notify all applicants not selected via email. If you are not selected, we highly encourage you to apply again as opportunities are different session to session!

If I wasn't selected for an internship one session, is there any point in applying again?
YES, ABSOLUTELY! The positions we have change each session. We highly encourage students to apply routinely throughout their studies!

Please make sure to update your application each session to include new accomplishments and activities, including updated transcripts.

About

The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program seeks to build and maintain strong and diverse leadership and a workforce skilled in health policy.

Fellows have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with key players in federal health policy and use that leadership experience to improve health, health care, and health policy.

Since 1973, this non-partisan fellowship has offered direct, hands-on policy experience with the most influential congressional and executive offices in the nation’s capital to exceptional mid-career health professionals, behavioral/social scientists, and others with an interest in health and health care who:

  • Possess the skills and commitment to using the fellowship experience to provide leadership in improving health, health care, and health policy at the national, state, or local level;
  • Bring a depth of expertise and knowledge about health and health care to the policymaking process; and
  • Can offer an informed perspective on important and complex challenges facing health policymakers.

More than 300 fellows from across the nation have gained an insider's perspective of the political process, develop unmatched leadership skills, and build a professional network that lasts a lifetime.

The National Academy of Medicine conducts and administers the fellowship, with funding support from RWJF.

The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program offers mid-career professionals the opportunity to participate in the policy process at the federal level and use that leadership experience to improve health equity, health care, and health policy.

What can Fellows expect?

The RWJF Fellowship is comprised of two unique experiences: an immersive orientation period and a hands-on placement working as a senior advisor to an elected or appointed federal government official. Starting with an intensive three-and-a-half-month orientation arranged by the NAM, fellows have the opportunity to meet with national leaders well-versed in health, health care policy, health equity, social determinants of health, and structural racism; think tanks and interest groups; key executive branch officials; and members of Congress and their staffs. During this time, fellows participate in seminars on health economics; the congressional budget process; current priority issues in federal health policy; and the process for federal decision-making.

This concentrated orientation is designed to prepare the fellows for immediate success in the second phase: their placements in the federal legislative and executive branches.

What do Fellows do?

Fellows serve as senior advisors to key health policy decision-makers in Washington, DC. They participate in the policy process with members of Congress, a congressional committee, or the executive branch. Under the supervision of the office in which they are placed. Fellows typically:

  • help develop legislative or regulatory proposals;
  • organize hearings, briefings, and stakeholder meetings;
  • meet with constituents; and
  • brief legislators or senior administration officials on a range of health issues.

Fellowship assignments are supplemented throughout the year by nonpartisan seminars and group discussions on contemporary federal policy topics, as well as media/strategic communications training and leadership development activities. Fellows prepare a formal presentation on a health policy issue with which they have been engaged and take part in NAM meetings with other health policy organizations.

Prospective applicants should review the application guidelines before applying. Applicants will be asked to submit an updated curriculum vitae (CV) and two personal essays. Learn more about the RWJF Fellowship application.

Apply

Applications are not currently open. They will open on August 1st, 2024.

Applications for this solicitation must be submitted via MyRWJF, the RWJF online system. If you have not already done so, you will be required to register at http://my.rwjf.org before you begin the application process.

The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program is an outstanding opportunity for exceptional mid-career health professionals, behavioral/social scientists, and others with an interest in health and health policy. Learn more.

Eligibility

Exceptional mid-career professionals from academic faculties; government (including military; U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs; U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps; and state offices who are not considered government officials under Section 4946 of the Internal Revenue Code);* and nonprofit health organizations, who are interested in experiencing the health policy process at the federal level, are encouraged to apply.

  • Applicants must have earned an advanced degree in one of the following disciplines: medicine; nursing; public health; allied health professions; biomedical sciences; dentistry; economics or other social sciences; health services organization and administration; social and behavioral health; or health law.
  • Applicants whose official job description or responsibilities are primarily government relations or advocacy are not eligible to apply.
  • Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, or permanent residents at the time of application. Because the RWJF Health Policy Fellows are placed in assignments in the federal government, changes in federal policy or law may necessitate that RWJF consider adjustments in eligibility and grant terms, as well as placements in the program.
  • Additionally, individual candidates for receipt of award funds cannot be related by blood or marriage to any Officer** or Trustee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, or be a descendant of its founder, Robert Wood Johnson.

* For these purposes, government officials are defined as any person who holds one of the following:

  1. An elective public office in the executive or legislative branch of the Government of the United States;
  2. An office in the executive or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, appointment to which was made by the President;
  3. A position in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States—(A) which is listed in schedule C of rule VI of the Civil Service Rules, or (B) the compensation for which is equal to or greater than the lowest rate of basic pay for the Senior Executive Service under section 5382 of title 5, United States Code;
  4. A position under the House of Representatives or the Senate of the United States held by an individual receiving gross compensation at an annual rate of $15,000 or more;
  5. An elective or appointive public office in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of a State, possession of the United States, or political subdivision or other area of any of the foregoing, or of the District of Columbia, held by an individual receiving gross compensation at an annual rate of $20,000 or more, and a significant part of whose activities include "the independent performance of policymaking functions.”
  6. A position as personal or executive assistant or secretary to any of the foregoing; or
  7. A member of the Internal Revenue Service Oversight Board.

Prior to selection, any finalist who is a government employee will be required to furnish a letter from the applicant’s supervisor confirming that the applicant is not a government official under this definition.

**The Officers are the Chair of the Board of Trustees; President and CEO; Executive Vice President; General Counsel; Secretary; Assistant Secretary; Treasurer; and Chief Investment Officer of the Foundation.

Selection Criteria

Members of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellows advisory board assess each applicant, based on the following criteria:

  • Professional achievements;
  • Potential for leadership in health policy;
  • Potential for future growth and career advancement;
  • Potential for significant contributions to improving health, equity, and well-being in the nation;
  • Interpersonal and communications skills;

*Due to COVID-19 related restrictions, finalist interviews may move to a virtual format

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidates for this fellowship have a record of exceptional professional accomplishment and are a recognized expert within their profession, community, institution, or organization. The fellowship strongly encourages individuals with diverse backgrounds, ideologies, and perspectives to apply. Because of the unique nature of working on Capitol Hill or in the executive branch and the uncertainty that often accompanies the legislative process, individuals who are flexible, team players, and fast learners tend to be more successful. A positive attitude, confidence, sense of humor, humility, listening skills, discretion, and patience are highly regarded. Those with strong emotional intelligence and networking skills will be able to maximize the value of this experience in their subsequent roles as leaders and influencers committed to building a healthier and more equitable future for the nation.

About the Job

The School of Public Health Division of Health Policy and Management is seeking applications for a full-time Rural Health Equity Post-Doctoral Associate (9546 Post-Doctoral Associate).

Starting pay is dependent upon the selected candidate’s relevant qualifications, experience, and internal equity: NIH standard postdoctoral salary ($60,000-$65,000 USD annually)

Work Arrangements: The University of Minnesota endorses a “Work with Flexibility” and we offer a flexible work environment that meets the needs of our students, faculty, staff, and partners we serve. This position will have a remote or hybrid work option.

We are currently accepting applications for one rural health equity postdoctoral associate position beginning on or after September 1, 2024.

At the University of Minnesota Rural Health Research Center (RHRC), we conduct policy-relevant research to improve the lives of rural residents and families, to advance health equity, and to enhance the vitality of rural communities. We invite scholars from diverse backgrounds to apply for the RHRC’s Rural Health Equity Postdoctoral Program. The program will support the professional development of researchers who can address critical gaps in knowledge by doing the following:

  • Conduct research to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of health policy that advances health equity in individuals, families, and communities, with a focus on rural areas and geographic inequities.
  • Study the impacts of institutional and governmental policies that affect health care access, health care quality, maternity care, social drivers of health, systems of care and services, and population health outcomes across the lifespan from infancy to older adulthood.
  • Focus and engage with rural populations that face structural barriers to good health outcomes, including the following: communities of color, Indigenous people, women and girls, LGBTQIA individuals, people with disabilities, older adults, and people with limited incomes.
  • Conduct research in partnership with communities, and communicate findings to policymakers and back to communities, highlighting the impact of decisions for individual, family, and community health.

The primary goal of this program is to train scholars who will become innovative research leaders in rural health. The postdoc will receive mentorship and support from the RHRC leadership and staff and closely collaborate on projects.

The postdoc will be expected to be a core member of a research team for a one-year national-scope rural health-focused project (Sep-Aug) that is funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. During the first year of the program, the postdoc will have an opportunity to provide input to shape a one-year project that they could lead or co-lead during the second year of the program. Results from these two projects will be published as peer-reviewed manuscripts and/or publicly available policy briefs, and disseminated at rural-relevant conferences. RHRC’s work is characterized by rapid turnaround, policy-relevant, rigorous research that informs state, federal, and institutional decision-making and improves the health of rural communities.

The postdoc will also be expected to develop and implement an independent rural health equity research project focused on rural Minnesota. The specific focus and methodology of this project will depend on the expertise and interest of the associate, but may include quantitative analysis, qualitative data collection and analysis, and community-engaged work.

This is a two-year position, with the second year of funding being contingent on successful completion of the first. This is a 100% FTE position over a 2-year period using standard NIH postdoctoral position salary range; travel stipend to attend a national conference each year will also be made available.

Qualifications

Postdocs must have (or will complete before the scheduled start date) the following requirements:

  • Graduated from a doctoral program with a focus in health policy, public health, demography, geography, sociology, public policy, or a closely-related discipline.
  • Training and demonstrated excellence in methods/statistics, including analysis of survey data, claims data, and/or qualitative data; our research needs focus most on quantitative analysis of secondary data.
  • Ability to conduct rigorous research efficiently in a fast-paced, policy-relevant, community-engaged environment.
  • Individuals with a focus on racial equity, including rural Black and Indigenous people, are especially encouraged to apply.
  • Experience with data analysis in a US Census Research Data Center and US Census Special Sworn Status are preferred, but not required.

About the Department

At RHRC, our dedicated team of experts conducts research that is informed by the lived experiences of people, families, and communities that experience increasing racial and economic disparities centered on place. Centering on diverse perspectives, we continually work to educate ourselves on the particular strength and resilience of rural people, Indigenous people, and communities of color. We study access to and quality of health care, social drivers of health, institutional and systematic barriers, and population health outcomes to build the evidence base for policymaking and system transformation that improves overall health and well-being. Our work focuses on eliminating inequities based on geography and place, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, age, and ability. We are committed to the highest standards of excellence in research and to communicating results broadly to inform policy, research, community, and individual decision-making.

The Rural Health Equity Postdoctoral Program is supported by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute and the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs at the University of Minnesota. It is housed in the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

Application Review Process

During the NBBTP application review process, the NBBTP Selection Committee rates and ranks NBBTP applicants using a three-phase, structured assessment process. The first phase is based on the completed application, references, essay, official transcripts and optional supplemental material. After this initial review process, advancing applicants are invited to phone-interview with members of the Selection Committee. Upon successful completion of the phone interview, finalists are invited to participate in two days of onsite interviews at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Travel expenses are reimbursed by NBBTP/IRTA. Fellowship offers are conditional, pending verification of authenticity of application materials, official transcripts, and the applicant's ability to meet federal guidelines for working with select agents.

The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs.

Stipend amounts are based on the NIH IRTA scale.
