Job Description

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
- Steve Jobs
Teach For Malaysia is an independent, not-for-profit organisation on a mission to empower our nation through
education. We believe that a child's education and future should not be determined by his or her circumstances in life.
Thousands of students don't have the chance to realise their potential because of many socioeconomic factors, like how
much their parents earn or where they were born/live.
We recruit, train and support our country's rising generation of leaders to teach in high-need schools across the nation,
through our 2030 strategy consisting of 2 flagship programmes which is the Teach For Malaysia Fellowship and Program
Duta Guru - our two-year leadership development programmes focused on growing leaders across the education system.
We've impacted over 200,000 students and worked with the Ministry of Education and other corporate and social sector
partners to collectively bring transformation to the education system. Beyond the Fellowship and Program Duta Guru,
our growing network of Alumni, education champions and supporters are lifelong advocates for education and
expanding opportunities for students, working as a movement to build an ecosystem of solutions at all levels of society -
from the classroom to the boardroom.
As we celebrate TFM's 10-years of existence and impact, we are looking for champions to join our team in this
movement of change - people who share our vision, mission, and core values (Sense of Possibility, Excellence,
Collaboration, and Integrity) - so that we are able to collectively work towards expanding our impact. Alignment to our
vision, mission and values are integral to TFM's culture, to ensure long-term, sustainable success and to realise our
mission to:
Build a movement of leaders in the education ecosystem to empower all children in Malaysia to realise their potential
Our collaborative working environment opens up many opportunities for you to expand your network and lead your own
learning, alongside other team members, Fellows and Alumni, corporate partners, the Ministry of Education, and other
education stakeholders. Teach For Malaysia is also a partner in the Global Education Network, Teach For All.
While our compensation package is fair and competitive, we do not expect this to be your key reason for joining us. After
all, we are not just offering you a job; we are looking for a like-minded future leader to grow with us and help us achieve
our mission.
