The Fellowship is a Leadership Development Program. Teacher Fellows gain professional training and support while they expand opportunities for students in the highest-need schools. Fellows attend a teacher training institute, lead a classroom for two years with coaching and support from TFL staff, and develop the leadership and professional skills for the next steps in their careers in the classroom and beyond. As Alumni of the program, past fellows benefit from support ranging from opportunities to apply and secure funding for graduate school to placement in roles in the private and public sector. To be eligible, applicants must: No, you do not. Most of our fellows had no prior teaching experience. They come from various backgrounds outside of education and their classroom presence is informed by their range of experience. Click here to apply. Applications will run from March 18, 2025 to May 9, 2025. The first stage of the application process is for you to complete our online application form. If successful, you will be invited to an Assessment Center where we will further assess your motivations and suitability to Teach For Liberia through a test, a group task, and a one-on-one interview. If successful at the Assessment Center, you will be made an offer to the Teach For Libera Leadership Development Fellowship. This offer will be conditional on your performance in our Pre-Service Institute, university transcript, diploma and references. No, you do not. We welcome citizens of any nationality who are vision driven, invested in Liberia, and committed to improving Liberia through education. Yes, you will. Our pre-service institute will take place from July to August. This institute will cover classroom management, teaching methodologies, and local requirements for teacher certification. Our fellows are placed in underserved communities across Liberia. You will receive a stipend as a Teach For Liberia Fellow. The stipend we provide is 10% higher than the average entry level salary across Liberia. As this is a Fellowship and not a job, it’s important to note that we do not give salaries. We are looking forward to expanding our reach to more schools across Liberia.
