We achieve this by hiring college students interested in education and placing them in expanded learning programs, where they gain over 800 hours of paid field experience annually. Fellows receive 40 hours of paid professional development each year, focused on California state teaching standards and after-school best practices. Additionally, CTFF offers education pathway initiatives to support tutors on their journey to becoming educators and help diversify and strengthen the workforce.
