UTeach Urban Teachers is an exciting new way to enter the profession as a secondary English Language Arts or Social Studies teacher. We want smart, dedicated, and enthusiastic applicants to think critically about schools with our outstanding faculty in the College of Education.

Current UT juniors in approved majors can apply now to start this summer with a paid internship as part of a faculty-led cohort of future teachers.  The paid summer internship is part of an exciting new partnership with Breakthrough Austin: students accepted to the cohort will take 6 credits over summer Sessions I-II, and get paid teaching experience with the guidance and support from College of Education faculty.

The Project, UT’s Largest Day of Service, is in 26 days!  We are recruiting 2200 volunteers and event staff (Team Leads) for February 28^th.  Since January of 2013, we’ve been working with the Holly/East Cesar Chavez neighborhoods to get to know residents, map community resources, and to volunteer alongside a rapidly changing community.   After Project 2014 we had 1850 volunteers and 15 community organizations working at 36 sites, making a nearly $400,000 economic impact.  We’re proud to support the Austin community that supports UT so well, and we hope you’ll join us in giving back – we welcome all UT faculty, staff, alumni, and families!
