Backgrounds differ. Commitment does not.
Teaching in a village school changed everything I thought I knew about leadership. Real leadership isn't about authority — it's about showing up every day for people who count on you.
Cohort XII Teacher-Leader
Take the first step toward becoming a teacher-leader who transforms communities.
Our National Service Program is a two-year, full-time leadership commitment in Armenia's public education system—placing exceptional people where the country needs them most, and forming them through real responsibility.
This is not a short-term volunteer experience. It is structured national service: a disciplined, high-expectation program that asks participants to teach, lead, and build alongside school communities in under-resourced regions—often in rural and border areas—where educational opportunity has historically been limited.
It is designed to:
By bringing strong teachers and high expectations to classrooms that have been left behind—so children's futures aren't determined by their zip code, village, or family income.
By immersing participants in the realities of Armenia's public systems, sharpening their judgment under pressure, and building the humility, resilience, and moral clarity that leadership in Armenia requires.
By graduating alumni who carry this lived experience into education, government, entrepreneurship, civil society, and the private sector—bringing with them the skills to improve institutions, mobilize communities, and solve complex problems at scale.
This program is intentionally demanding.
Because Armenia's future doesn't need more commentary—it needs people who can execute, endure, and lead with integrity. In two years, Teacher-Leaders don't just gain experience. They earn credibility. And they join a lifelong community of Alumni–Ambassadors committed to strengthening Armenia through education.
The Teach For Armenia National Service Program recruits Armenia's most capable and values-driven individuals—people who believe that leadership begins with responsibility, and that service to the nation is not abstract, but lived.
We look for candidates with strong academic or professional foundations and, more importantly, a demonstrated commitment to impact. Our cohorts include:
Our Teacher-Leaders come from a wide range of disciplines—science and engineering, humanities, economics, the arts, and beyond. What unites them is not their résumé, but their willingness to commit fully, to learn quickly, and to lead under real constraints.
Backgrounds differ. Commitment does not.
We select for resilience, humility, and a deep sense of responsibility to Armenia's future—because the work is demanding, the stakes are high, and the impact lasts far beyond two years.
