Together, let's make our city the destination for opportunity it was meant to be. Trying to figure out where you’d like to teach? Our Compare Regions tool can help. Compare Regions St. Louis is home to some of the country’s best free public institutions including the world-renowned St. Louis Art Museum, a nationally-recognized science center, the Missouri History Museum, one of the country’s best known zoos, and Forest Park—modeled after New York's Central Park. While natives and transplants alike take great pride in these attractions, one of St. Louis' biggest and most important free institutions is never ranked among the country's best—our public school system. From legalized segregation in the 1860s to a belated and reluctant enforcement of desegregation in the 1980s, divisions by race and class in St. Louis have led to intergenerational poverty, the decline of our historic communities, and a vast disparity in educational outcomes between students growing up in different zip codes. Teach For America is part of a community working to expand educational opportunity for the thousands of children growing up in poverty in St. Louis. Corps members and alumni are a source of talent and energy for more equitable schools and a more equitable city. Along with aligned local organizations and individual champions of educational equity, we are cultivating a landscape where students from every background have the opportunity to prosper.
