Share your passion for STEM in 2017: Apply for the EnCorps Teaching Fellowship

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: EnCorps STEM Teachers Program

It’s a new year, dive into an opportunity to share your passion for STEM with a younger generation. Join the EnCorps STEM Teachers Program!

Students need you. STEM achievement and career opportunities are disproportionately limited for youth in under-resourced school districts. The severe shortage of high-quality teachers in these schools leaves low-income and minority students particularly vulnerable.

Join a network of over 600 EnCorps leaders in California making a profound and immediate impact by taking their working knowledge and passing it on to the next generation.

The EnCorps STEM Teachers Program empowers STEM industry experts to become exceptional teachers, tutors, and educators. Heading into our 10th year of public service, we are the only nonprofit in the nation that enables STEM professionals, military veterans, and retirees to explore a career transition to teaching in a highly supported way.

Do your part to address inequalities in education. Don't let zip code determine destiny.

OUR INNOVATIVE MODEL

  • Begin immediately working with high need students as a tutor and/or guest teacher
  • Receive mentorship from EnCorps staff and a host teacher
  • Decide on an EnCorps track of volunteering or full time (paid) teaching
  • Receive exam support and credentialing guidance, scholarship opportunities and access to networks and schools for full time teaching employment
  • Engage in a robust slate of professional development and a cohort of peers to share ideas, support and best practices

"I want them to know that they are capable of success no matter their background or what anyone else may have told them."

-EnCorps Fellow Tyran Richards

Mission Statement

WE ARE STEM PROFESSIONALS PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION TO CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS FOR STUDENTS IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES

Description

Founded in 2007, EnCorps Inc. is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit with operations in California as well the greater Denver, Colorado and New York City areas. EnCorps connects highly effective STEM educators with public school students to counter the systemic injustice preventing children in under-resourced communities from accessing a high-quality STEM education. The EnCorps STEM Teachers Program(r) recruits, selects and supports STEM professionals and experts in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields as well as individuals who possess an advanced STEM degree to transition to teaching as an innovative, long-term solution to the STEM teacher shortage and to counter the alarming lack of math proficiency of middle and high school students nationwide. The EnCorps STEMx Tutors Program matches middle school students, currently under-performing in math, with volunteer STEM professionals, subject-matter experts and STEM college students to increase math skills and confidence prior to students entering high school.
