Latinx Teachers Fellowship

The Latinx Teachers Fellowship is a 9-month program that supports early career teachers in Massachusetts, Houston, and the Bay Area to leverage their Latinx identity and utilize best practices to improve effectiveness and become stronger advocates for their students.

The Latinx Teachers Fellowship has become a critical resource for teachers in Massachusetts, Greater Houston and the Bay Area to navigate the increased demands of a post-pandemic education system and improve the likelihood of progressing in their careers as leaders.

Who are the ideal candidates?

• Identify as Latino/a/x/e
• 1- 4 years of teaching experience
• Will be a PreK-12 teacher for the 2024-2025 school year
• Teaching in Massachusetts, Houston, or the Bay Area
• Has a track record of achieving high student achievement
• Teachers who support multilingual learners are highly encouraged to apply

By the end of the summer, we expect Fellows will:

• Increase their self-efficacy around leveraging their Latinx identity as agents of change
• Develop clarity over their commitment to the classroom and their goals within the education landscape
• Collaborate around best practices for driving positive academic outcomes for students of color
• Build local and national learning networks of Latinx teachers

Program Fee

Fellows pay an individual fee of $100 to participate in the program, which is due when Fellows accept their offer to participate in the Fellowship. This fee is a reduced rate from the overall costs of the program, and it helps to cover the cost of trainings, retreats, and materials. The remainder of the cost is subsidized through organizational partners that pay $1,500 per Fellow and through scholarship support.
