About Teach for Lebanon
Teach For Lebanon (TFL) is
an NGO working to ensure that all children in Lebanon, regardless of
socioeconomic background, have access to quality education. The model of Teach
For Lebanon is an education innovation that focuses on youth capacity building
to provide quality intervention and systemic support for students. TFL employs
and trains Lebanon’s most promising graduates, “TFL Fellows”, and places them
in schools serving underprivileged refugee and Lebanese children. These Fellows
receive on-going training and support to address educational disadvantages by
providing transformational teaching that places their students on a path of
academic success. Along the way, they become leaders and advocates for a better
Lebanon.
