Teach For America is a bold and diverse movement of changemakers who work toward educational excellence for all students by teaching for at least two years. Together with partners throughout the educational ecosystem, our network of over 62,000 alumni and corps members are empowering students, and helping them shape a future filled with possibility.

Uplift Education (Uplift) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates a network of 45 high-performing, tuition-free, public charter schools serving 23,000 students in under-served areas across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. We are a reform-minded organization that has attracted funding from local and national donors such as the Communities Foundation of Texas and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. Uplift's mission is to create and sustain public schools of excellence that empower students to reach their highest potential and inspire a lifelong love of learning, achievement, service, and responsible citizenship. Each school provides free college preparatory education in a community that has limited high quality public education options. Our goal is to completely CLOSE the achievement gap between students, regardless of their ethnic or socio-economic background, while ensuring that 100% of our students graduate and enroll in college. Commit to Community: Our community approach means that we actively reach out to local leaders and invite them to help us improve education in their communities by serving on our local boards and being advocates for our mission in their local neighborhoods. Commit to Change: By nurturing academic performance and civic responsibility from kindergarten through high school, we do more than expand our students’ horizons. We also change people’s perceptions of what is possible in public education.

Educating those who serve. With a strong military heritage, American Military University (AMU) educates those in the military, defense, national security, public safety, and related communities. AMU is proud to be the number one provider of higher education to our US Armed Forces as reported by "Military Times" (October 2020). It’s an online university with boots on the ground at military installations around the country. AMU representatives have a deep understanding of the military world and they stand ready to discuss students’ options. AMU is committed to serving, whether students are currently serving, making a transition, or mission-driven civilians. Founded in 1991 by a retired military officer, AMU today offers 200+ degrees and certificates and the university’s bachelor's programs were named to "US News & World Report's" ranking of top online degree programs for the sixth consecutive year. AMU is recognized by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) as a member of the accredited American Public University System.
