Teach For All is working to develop the collective leadership necessary to ensure that all children have the education, support and opportunity they need to shape a better future for themselves and the world around them.

As a part of this engagement with Teach For All, Citi will sponsor the organization’s 2020 Global Conference, serve as its Global Learning Partner and provide speakers for several sessions at the event. The conference, which will be held virtually from Oct. 20 – Oct. 22, will bring together teachers, alumni, students and staff members from 58 Teach For All network partner organizations to enable learning about the growing inequities they are addressing and about new possibilities emerging to accelerate progress in this era.

“Citi has a clear set of values and a mission to enable growth and progress, and we are thrilled to work with Teach For All to help create economic opportunity through education for children around the world,” said Paco Ybarra, CEO, Citi’s Institutional Clients Group. “We hope our support provides Teach For All and their network partners with the capabilities to expand their reach further into the communities they serve and build a more fair and inclusive society through education.”

“We are thrilled that Citi is teaming up with Teach For All as our Global Learning Partner,” said Wendy Kopp, Teach For All CEO and Co-Founder. “Citi’s longstanding commitment to education, its globalism and its expertise in leveraging technology will accelerate and increase our impact by helping us foster cross border learning and sharing among thousands of dedicated educators and change agents committed to enabling all children to fulfill their potential.”

This sponsorship is an expansion of Citi and Teach For All’s previous and existing collaborations, including Citi’s support of Teach For All network partner Teach First’s Run the River campaign in London and Citi’s e for education campaign.
