Dear Professor O'Neil,

I’d like to thank you again for sharing the Match Corps Opportunity with the students and faculty in your department last year. We truly appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about the Match Corps and Match Teacher Residency post-graduate service programs. This year, we’ve expanded our reach to serve both Boston and Lawrence, MA. To learn more about how Match Education has expanded and what opportunities are available for recent college graduates, have a look at our website:http://www.matcheducation.org/apply.

As a reminder, candidates for the Match Corps or Teacher Residency usually fall into one of these categories:

1)      Want to be highly effective educators in urban schools
2)      Want to volunteer for a year before grad school, law school, or medical school
3)      Want to get involved in education reform or public policy
4)      Want to transition into a career in the non-profit or education sector


ATTENTION SENIORS – do you:

a)      Want to be a highly effective educator in urban schools?
b)      Want to volunteer for a year before grad school, law school, or medical school?
c)       Want to get involved in education reform or public policy?
d)      Want to transition into a career in the non-profit or education sector?

If so, consider committing a year to the Match Corps, a one-year urban education service fellowship. Corps members volunteer full-time in one of our charter schools in Boston, or in a traditional district school in Lawrence with whom we have partnered, tutoring and mentoring a small caseload of students. We also offer the Match Teacher Residency, so that in addition to tutoring full-time, Corps members can train and earn certification to become full-time teachers in other high-need urban schools. 

We recruit from all majors; candidates do not need to have a background in education. We seek candidates with strong content backgrounds – math, science, English, history, etc, and those who share our passion for social justice and education reform.
