Teach First Deutschland is a non-profit educational initiative that has been committed to improving educational equity in the German education system since its founding in 2007. With the motto "Enthusiastic about Education," the organization focuses on supporting students in socially disadvantaged areas.

The main mission of Teach First Deutschland is to ensure that all children and young people, regardless of their starting conditions, receive a good education. The organization advocates for social diversity and heterogeneity and strives for fair and equal participation for all individuals, regardless of gender, skin color, religion, physical or mental abilities, or sexual orientation.

Teach First Deutschland sends university graduates from all fields of study as so-called Fellows to schools in socially disadvantaged areas for two years. These Fellows work full-time and are paid at the schools to enhance the schools' ability to specifically support students. They are involved in teaching and extracurricular activities to particularly assist students during transitions between school types and in completing their education.

Before their deployment, the Fellows complete a three-month preparation program. During their time at the schools, they are accompanied and further educated by Teach First Deutschland, including coaching, training, and mentoring.

Teach First Deutschland is part of the international network Teach For All and works closely with other organizations to achieve sustainable change in the education system. The organization is committed to developing leadership skills among the Fellows and supports their careers after their school deployment in various fields, from business to the non-profit sector.

The initiative is supported by a variety of foundations, companies, and private donors, including the Bosch, Hertie, Vodafone, and Zeit foundations, as well as Deutsche Post and the Fritz-Henkel Foundation. The salaries of the Fellows are paid by the states and municipalities, while the costs for recruiting, selection, and support are covered through fundraising.

Teach First Deutschland promotes a friendly and creative working atmosphere, focusing on team spirit and development opportunities for employees. The organization offers various benefits, including training programs, workshops, and coaching, to continuously enhance the skills and knowledge of its employees.
