Teach For Thailand is a nonprofit organization committed to more equitable and just education opportunities for children in Thailand. We want to better Thai education, one classroom at a time. And we do this by partnering with communities to develop a network of leaders through our Fellowship Program.

What We Do:

We develop leaders to improve educational opportunities for children in Thailand through our 2-year Fellowship Program.

In the Fellowship Program, we recruit, develop, and place people from all backgrounds to teach in underserved schools for two years. During this time, Fellows learn through firsthand experience and grow their leadership skills by collaborating with stakeholders in schools and communities.

After their experience, graduates of the Program are empowered to drive positive changes in Thai education and beyond. Whether they carry on as teachers, become policymakers, start their own social enterprises, or work in the public or private sector, they are able to affect change in different ways.

The Role: Regional Leadership Development Associate
The Regional Team leads the efforts to train and empower participants (“fellows”) who are teaching in classrooms to transform the lives of thousands of students in the Greater Bangkok area and other regions. In 2023, Teach For Thailand’s Training & Support Team will train over 100+ fellows. The team designs and executes training and professional development programs for fellows during ‘Institute’ and throughout their two-year placement in schools. The team also builds the capacity of Teach For Thailand staff and partners with government, university, and local schools to support and develop our fellows. Through the team’s work, our fellows will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to lead the students they teach to greater achievement and to develop into future leaders themselves.

The Regional Team seeks to create a sustainable community impact for Teach For Thailand to operate each region by their own to achieve their needs as the unique context. The team had responsibility for the region in three main areas; (1) Community Selection - increase representation of incoming fellows cohort to reflect the makeup of the communities and collaborate with the people in the community to recruit and select the candidate for their schools; ; (2) Leadership Development - develop fellows leadership so that they can create impact on students, school, and community; (3) Local Partnership - secure and grow public and private partnerships within the region to execute the vision.
