Why do we exist? What do we do?
The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.
We run free and high-impact schools and an exceptional college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai. We are known for our world-class professional development, our result-oriented team culture, and our student-centric school design. Read more about us at www.iTeachSchools.org.
Responsibilities
The iTeach College to Career Team aims to have all our alumni make it to and through college and get their first sustainable job aligned with their personal vision. This is their first step in pulling themselves and their families out of poverty. We do this work through four centres: Admissions and Scholarships, Near-peer Mentoring, Lifeguarding, and the Career Centre.
With only 10% of Indian students making it through college—fewer from under-resourced backgrounds—many face pressure to work early, marry, or drop out. C2C exists to change this, offering academic, financial, and social support to help go
to and through college, and into meaningful employment.
Forbes Marshall, our long-time partner and supporter, has been doing incredible work with the girls in the Khed area to ensure they get into meaningful careers of their choice, support their family, and make independent life choices. Starting 2025-26, iTeach C2C has collaborated with FM to be a knowledge and implementation partner for this project.
