Last week Teach For America celebrated 25 years of dedication to education. The weekend brought together 15,000 friends, partners, and members of the TFA community to reflect on progress made and to discuss the work to be done. After New Profit's founding in 1998, Teach For America was among the first few organizations New Profit supported, and the relationship has grown into one of our most successful partnerships to date. We were honored to attend TFA’s 25th Anniversary Summit in Washington and to witness so many leaders working to move education in our country forward. In honor of such a successful weekend, here are some of the top tweets from the 25th anniversary Teach For America Summit:
