Deadline: April 11, 2022
Applications are open for the Teach for Nigeria Fellowship Program 2022. The Teach For Nigeria Fellowship program is a 2 year full-time paid commitment in which they place the most outstanding graduates and professionals to teach in Nigeria’s under-served schools in low-income communities.
The Teach For Nigeria Fellowship is a transformational leadership program that equips Fellows with transferable leadership skills to effect change beyond the classrooms in the communities they serve.
The two-year commitment is necessary to make the impact we wish to have on student achievement. In the first year, Fellows refine their teaching skills and establish respect and trust among various stakeholders within the school community and the students. This allows Fellows to achieve significant academic gains for students. In the second year, Fellows engage in their community projects to further their impact. During the two years, you will strive to transform the student, transform as a leader and transform your school and community.
