Government & Partnership Associate, iTeach Growth Team

Why do we exist? What do we do?

The quality of school education available to low-income students across India is abysmal — it decides, before they've had a real shot, whether they'll ever attend college or build a career. iTeach Schools was born in 2015 to break that pattern and build a level playing field for every child.

We run free, high-impact schools and a college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai, known for world-class professional development, a results-driven culture, and student-centric school design. More at www.iTeachSchools.org .
