How Sponsorship Works
Flexible Sponsorship Options
Group Sponsorship
At TeachForth, we are dedicated to providing accessible computer science education to underserved students though partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
The organization must be a registered nonprofit and designate a representative to serve as the main contact, accountable for their students’ participation and progress. Organizations interested in becoming a sponsor can apply through our website. Once the application is received, TeachForth will engage in discussions with the organization to develop a long-term plan towards success. This plan will outline the goals, expectations, and metrics for student progress and program impact.
Once accepted, the organization can enroll students according to the agreed-upon plan. This ensures that each student receives the support and resources they need to thrive in the TeachForth program. Our collaborative approach aims to build a sustainable partnership that benefits both the organization and the students it serves.
At Students submitted by the organization will be paired with a TeachForth volunteer teacher who will provide personalized, one-on-one instruction. This pairing is designed to maximize the learning experience, allowing students to receive dedicated support and guidance tailored to their individual needs. We believe that by working closely with our nonprofit partners, we can create meaningful and lasting change in the lives of students through high-quality computer science education. Apply today to become a Group Sponsor and join us in empowering the next generation of tech leaders.
Individual Sponsorship
At TeachForth, individuals have the opportunity to sponsor students, providing them with access to high-quality computer science education. Individual sponsors must complete an application process, during which TeachForth will discuss a personalized plan to ensure student success. This plan will detail the goals, expectations, and support needed for the student’s progress.
Once the sponsorship plan is in place, the sponsor can submit the student’s information for enrollment. Each sponsored student will be paired with a TeachForth volunteer teacher for personalized, one-on-one instruction. By becoming an individual sponsor, you can help empower the next generation of tech leaders. Apply today to make a lasting impact.
