City Teaching Alliance

At City Teaching Alliance, we celebrate Pride Month by honoring the voices, identities, and lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. Representation matters in every classroom and every story, and we are committed to fostering allyship and building spaces where students and educators can see themselves reflected, valued, and affirmed.

City Teaching Alliance’s 8-week Nonprofit Leadership Certificate is designed to help educators and emerging leaders build skills in fundraising, governance, finance, marketing, and more while growing their impact beyond the classroom.
