Teach Indy Now coordinates teacher recruitment and professional development programs across Indianapolis K-12 school systems from its downtown headquarters. The organization manages pipeline initiatives focused on educator preparation, placement, and retention while implementing specific programs to increase teacher diversity. Their signature event, the annual Teach Indy Educators Conference, connects current and aspiring teachers with school leaders for structured professional learning. The organization's teacher preparation programs operate through funding from Glick Philanthropies and other Indianapolis-based foundations. These grants support targeted initiatives addressing documented teacher shortages in Indianapolis schools. Teach Indy Now distributes this philanthropic funding through established partnerships with local districts and preparation programs. Indianapolis community stakeholders collaborate with Teach Indy Now to strengthen the regional education workforce through coordinated recruitment and support systems. The organization's partnerships span K-12 schools, universities, foundations, and community organizations across Marion County. These relationships enable aligned programming to address specific staffing needs within Indianapolis schools.
