Foster and Forge Foundation

Foster & Forge Foundation is a non-profit, Section 8, organization seeking to transform the lives of millions of school children by bolstering their education with relevant skills needed to succeed in school and beyond. We do this by building leadership skills in government school teachers through a robust two-year fellowship program called the Beacon Educator Fellowship. Our fellowship creates an opportunity for India’s largest teacher community – government school teachers – to re-imagine their classrooms along with their children. The teachers get exposed to new and innovative methodologies; and they begin to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in the education system, identifying their role in building a larger movement for meaningful education, and its impact towards sustainable development. Foster & Forge Foundation has been working with government schools in Uttar Pradesh for over 5 years and is currently working in all 75 districts in Uttar Pradesh. At Foster & Forge Foundation we are inclusive by the way of cherishing and respecting individuals. We foster innovation with flexibility in our ideas to apply it in creative ways. We love to learn new things, work with people, and always maintain naked honesty. We never give up because we are mindful and have gratitude for everything and all that we can do. And we stand with our tribe, helping each other to gather courage and resolve challenges. This culture is a core part of who we are as Foster & Forge Foundation and each member of the organization is expected to engage with and imbibe this culture.
