Teach For India has announced an Arts Fellowship as part of its two-year program to help children achieve excellent education. Launching in 2025, this full-time paid initiative aims to foster appreciation for artistic expression and empower aspiring leaders in India.

Teach For India, a non-profit committed to educational equity, revealed an Arts Fellowship as a new extension to its existing two-year program. Scheduled to launch on January 6, 2025, this full-time paid fellowship will augment efforts to offer quality education to children across India, according to organization officials.

Spearheaded by Shaheen Mistri, Teach For India's CEO, the initiative marks a significant milestone in the organization's mission to close the educational inequity gap nationwide.
