Life & Culture

What makes the Leadership Development Program unique? 

We hear it again and again: community.  

Teach For Australia places Associates exclusively in schools serving low-socioeconomic communities, working in places that need the most support. 

Metro, rural, regional or remote – schools are community superchargers, and when you join the program, you become an embedded and active part of the whole.  

This includes joining our thriving network of 1,600 Alumni: an engaged, diverse and driven cohort of people and leaders committed to making change. 

We try where possible to place Associates in the same school or a short drive away. This has created buzzing LDP communities right across Australia – your new mentors, friends, allies and cheerleaders, ready to help you step into your role. 

If community is what you craving, the Leadership Development Program will give you fulfilling relationships and connections for life.  

Join us. Make inspiring your day job.
