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.

A Specialized Track within the National Service Program
Tech4Armenia (T4A) is a specialized sub-track within the Teach For Armenia National Service Program, created in response to an urgent national challenge: the growing shortage of strong STEM teachers in Armenia's public schools.
As Armenia's economy and security increasingly depend on technical capacity, too many students—especially outside Yerevan—lack consistent access to high-quality instruction in math, science, and technology. The result is predictable: widened inequality, lost talent, and communities falling further behind.
Tech4Armenia was developed to begin solving this crisis now—by recruiting and training high-potential participants with STEM backgrounds to serve where the need is greatest, and to raise the standard for STEM learning in public education.
The Tech4Armenia track is designed for National Service participants with backgrounds or strengths in:
Like all Teach For Armenia participants, Tech4Armenia Fellows commit to two years of full-time national service. What distinguishes this track is the focus: strengthening STEM teaching and learning as a national priority.
Tech4Armenia Teacher-Leaders serve in public schools—often in under-resourced, rural, or border communities—where strong STEM teachers are hardest to find. The track is built on a 1+1 format: participants commit to one year of full-time teaching in an underserved public school, with the option to extend for a second year.
Uniquely, Tech4Armenia Teacher-Leaders remain employed by their tech company and continue receiving their current salary, making it possible for top technical talent to serve without stepping away from their long-term career trajectory.
Depending on placement and community needs, Tech4Armenia Teacher-Leaders may:
The goal is not only improved grades or test scores. The goal is expanded opportunity—so students across Armenia can access futures in science, technology, and innovation without leaving their communities behind.
Tech4Armenia Teacher-Leaders receive the same leadership training, coaching, and accountability as all Teach For Armenia Teacher-Leaders, alongside additional support tailored to STEM instruction—because excellence in STEM requires both strong content knowledge and strong pedagogy.
Technology is not the mission. Opportunity is.
STEM is one of the most urgent pathways to protect it.
A shortage of STEM teachers is not just an education issue—it is a national capacity issue. Tech4Armenia helps address that gap by developing leaders who can:
By embedding STEM talent inside a national service model, Tech4Armenia ensures this work is not episodic—it is disciplined, accountable, and built to last.
