Our Alumni Community

The inaugural TFA National Alumni Summit

15 cohorts. 5 big ideas. 1 day to decide what comes next.

For more than fifteen years, Teach For Australia Alumni have been at the forefront of meaningfully changing the outcomes and lives of young people – in classrooms, in leadership, in policy and beyond.

What began with teaching has grown into something bigger: a national community of people like you who’ve seen the challenges up close and are ready to push for greater change.

At the National Alumni Summit, we will come together, define what this community stands for and commit through tangible actions to what we’ll achieve next.

The journey to date

Through the Regional Alumni Summit Series in July, Alumni across Australia showed up with clarity, energy and a shared sense of what needs to shift. Five big ideas emerged – five areas where our community can drive genuine, collective change. The National Summit is where the rubber hits the road and where we decide how to achieve this.

“Achieving our mission requires more than bold policy – it requires bold people, supporting each other to uplift great practice and advocate for Australian education that is fair and equitable for all our students. The National Summit is the first moment we collectively make choices about how.” – Edwina Dohle, CEO at Teach For Australia, 2010 LDP Cohort
