Who We Are
The Teach Rural Foundation is a grass roots non-profit organization dedicated to helping fill the rural school teacher shortage. We are passionate about providing educational opportunities to rural communities and strive to give these students the same level of education as urban areas.
Our mission is to provide financial support to rural teaching candidates, as well as current rural teachers. Through our higher ed partnerships, we also provide mentorship and financial support for aspiring rural educators. Through our efforts, we are helping to ensure that these communities have access to the best education possible.
What We Do
The Teach Rural Foundation works to bring quality education and teachers to rural areas. We are passionate about providing a quality education to rural communities and strive to ensure that their students get the best education possible.
To achieve our goals, we obtain funding through various means such as donations and fundraising events, as well as through state and federal grants. Through our fundraising efforts we are able offer signing bonuses to teaching candidates in high needs positions for rural school systems. For the foreseeable future, our sole rural schools partner will be the Laurel School District in Laurel, DE, a town that ranks as Delaware's poorest. Over the next few years, we hope to expand our reach and assist more rural school systems and their students.
Why We Do It
At Teach Rural Foundation, our mission is to bridge the teacher gap for rural students in America. We believe that rural students shouldn’t have to go without the same quality of education due to their location.
Our objective is to bring awareness to why recruiting teachers to rural school systems is important, and how rural students are disproportionately impacted by the teaching shortage.
We understand the unique challenges that rural students face, and our team works to ensure that rural students have access to the same educational opportunities as those in urban areas.
We believe that with a team effort, we can all help cultivate a difference in the lives of rural students.
