The Teach First Business Network
This network is a community of Teach First ambassadors in the private sector, united by a lifelong commitment to the Teach First mission of tackling educational inequality. Through the network, members harness their skills, connections and influence to support schools, champion the mission within their organisations and support one another-driving change in classrooms, workplaces and across society.
"I've really enjoyed reconnecting with fellow Ambassadors and being able to continue the mission whilst outside of the classroom. The resources we have available to us in our jobs and via our network are invaluable to supporting other ambassadors and young people."
- Anu Manthri, 2010 Ambassador
