Find, Inspire, and Prepare Great Educators
Your relationships will inspire the next generation of exceptional educators to answer the call to urban teaching and leadership.
We're hiring a Talent Recruiter & Developer to identify, inspire, and prepare exceptional future teachers and leaders for meaningful careers in urban education. If you're passionate about helping people discover their calling, building authentic relationships that inspire action, developing future teachers and leaders, and being part of a purpose-driven, Christ-centered team, we'd love to hear from you.
The Center for Urban Teaching (CfUT) is a Christian nonprofit organization that exists to identify, prepare, and support high-performing urban teachers, leaders, and schools. We save school partners hundreds of hours by identifying top teaching talent as early as freshman year of college and top leadership talent as early as their second year of teaching. Through early recruitment, exposure to high-performing models, intensive training, and real-world experience that allows future educators to put theory to practice, we help educators discover what is possible and prepare to make a lasting impact in urban schools.
At CfUT, we believe lasting change happens by investing in people. Every teacher we prepare, every leader we develop, and every school we strengthen creates a ripple effect that impacts thousands of students for years to come. If you're looking for work that combines faith, purpose, growth, and lasting impact, you'll find it here.
