Teach For Senegal

Teach For Senegal (TFS ) is a local association that is taking a unique approach to eliminating educational inequity in Senegal by enlisting Senegal’s most promising future leaders ( who we call Jambaars) in the effort. TFS offers a Fellowship to young Senegalese leaders from both the diaspora and within Senegal to serve as full-time teachers in their own communities for two years. TFS meets the pressing need for exceptional teachers in Senegal’s understaffed low-income schools while fostering a constituency of young leaders positioned to advance the cause of educational equity and affect long-term systemic change.
