Peace Corps Fellows, Teachers College Details
Columbia University's Peace Corps Fellows Program is training vibrant and diverse cohorts of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to make a powerful impact on public school students in New York City.PCFP is a highly selective program composed of exceptional individuals who have demonstrated their commitment, resilience, and resourcefulness through the competitive application process to become a Peace Corps Volunteer and their two years of Peace Corps service. Fellows quickly become part of the close-knit PCFP community of reflective educators who address educational equity and social justice through their long-term commitments to urban schools, urban communities, and urban youth.In addition to gaining fieldwork and classroom experience, fellows benefit from world-class teacher training at Teachers College and an array of unique professional development opportunities. As a flagship Peace Corps Fellows program, we provide generous scholarships to select trainees. Since 1985 the program has recruited and trained more than 800 public school educators, and our alumni retention rate in the public school system is among the highest found anywhere in the country.
