Strengthening learning from classrooms to public systems
Teach for the Philippines works with public schools, communities, and government partners to improve learning and strengthen the conditions that make progress last. If the work calls to you, these are two ways to join it.
Open HQ Positions
Staff roles are for people who want to do the behind-the-scenes work that makes lasting change possible — building the support systems, coordination, and partnerships that help schools and communities thrive, and helping others grow into the best versions of themselves. If you’re deeply mission-aligned, collaborative, and driven by results that endure, explore our open roles.
Full Time Roles
We do not take email applications or hand-written letters. All applications must be done through our website using the Staff Application Form.
For specific inquiries about staff positions not already covered in the job description, please send an email to humanassets@teachforthephilippines.org and HR.Associate@teachforthephilippines.org with your question in the subject line. To the best of our abilities, we try to complete the admissions process for staff within 42 days.
Part-Time Roles
In Teach for the Philippines, we encounter a lot of experienced professionals and graduate students who are passionate about what we do and possess a diverse skill set that can tremendously benefit the organization, but can only commit part-time. At the moment, we do not have any opportunities available for part-time staff.

Civic Engagement Program
Our internship program will give you the experience and exposure in the fields of social and startup entrepreneurship, education research, and non-profit organization management. Expect to work in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment and do your part in improving the Philippine system of education.
What we need is someone who can become a bridge from the school to the organization or from network to network. It is important for us to note from the very beginning that the organization offers this opportunity on a purely voluntary basis; we also do not cover for housing or airfare. The minimum length of stay for a Teach for the Philippines intern is 1 month.
Eligibility
While our Civic Engagement Program is designed primarily for undergraduates, we also accommodate individuals with various work and academic credentials. Secondary school students, as well as experienced professionals and graduate school students are welcome to apply to our civic engagement program. Teach for the Philippines believes that qualified, motivated, and committed individuals of different collegiate or professional backgrounds should have the chance to further our movement.
Your course of study does not preclude you from this program. As with our Fellowship, we will gladly accept students from various fields, so long as the applicants are deemed qualified and can work with us for 1 month or longer.
Logistics
For our Civic Engagement Program, exact start and end dates are fixed on an individual basis, so we can help tailor a program that suits your schedule and our schedule best. You will be reporting to work at our office in Makati.
Standard hours are from 8 AM to 5 PM, though we’re more about the work you do than the time you spend in the office.
Having your own laptop is a must.
Aspiring candidates who do not hold residence in Metro Manila are required to satisfy their own housing and travel requirements for the duration of the internship.
Due to limitations in resources, we will only be able to accommodate a maximum of 5 to 6 interns at any time. What’s more, summer periods (both US and Philippine summers) are especially in-demand. We handle applications on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend that you get started early!
