The Collective

The Collective is Teach For America’s national association for alumni who identify as Native, Indigenous, and people of color.

The mission of The Teach For America Nashville-Chattanooga Collective is to dismantle educational inequity by empowering alumni of color, elevating the voices of people of color, and connecting alumni of color to each other & the greater  community.  

Collective Launch in Nashville-Chattanooga

If you are an alum who shares these identities you are already part of the national Collective family. Now, we we're working to launch a regional chapter of the Collective. 

​​​

The Collective Board is the regional leadership structure of the association.

Applications will be accepted for the TFA Nashville-Chattanooga Collective Board until February 12, 2021.
