Future Teachers Project

Background

The SCU Future Teachers Project (FTP) was established in 1995 in an effort to provide college-preparatory programming and support to students who want to become teachers in urban and under-served communities. In June 2000, our first seven FTP students graduated from Santa Clara University.

We now serve over eighty students at the university and high school levels throughout Silicon Valley and the Bay Area.

Our goals

  • Recruit high school students who are committed to becoming teachers in urban communities
  • Support high school students in their college application process
  • Provide financial, academic, and social support for college students
  • Provide opportunities to discuss and be directly engaged in teaching
  • Prepare students for their credential and first teaching position
