Application Process

We have two related – but distinct – 1 year service programs. MATCH Corps is full-time tutoring. MATCH Teacher Residency includes the normal MATCH Corps load each Monday to Thursday, but it also includes specific teacher training Friday and Saturday, and during July. In other words, all Teacher Residents are part of MATCH Corps, but not all MATCH Corps are Teacher Residents.

Both MATCH Corps and MATCH Teacher Residency applicants will submit a common application. Qualified applicants will be invited to take part in a phone interview with a member of the MATCH Recruiting Team. During this interview they will be encouraged to ask specific questions about MATCH Corps and Teacher Residency; by the end of the conversation they will commit to applying to one program or the other.

After the phone interview, qualified applicants will be invited to participate in an on-site interview at either the MATCH Middle or High School.

One week after their on-site interview, applicants will be contacted to let them know if they will be offered a seat in the 2012-2013 Cohort.

We highly encourage applications from all majors, and are especially interested in applicants with strong math/science backgrounds.

MATCH Corps

This is an 11 month (August through June) residential fellowship program. It pairs Corps members with 6-7 MATCH High or Middle School students. Corps members run small group or 1-on-1 tutorials every day, run extra-curriculars, coach sports, and serve as a Teaching Assistant to one of our classroom teachers or as an Administrative Assistant in each of the school departments.

After their service year, Corps members will go on to a variety of grad school programs (law, medicine, public policy, etc.); others will transition into social advocacy and non-profit work; still others will begin work in the private sector.


MATCH Teacher Residency

This is a 12-month program (August through July) that fully includes all aspects of MATCH Corps above, but is designed for those who know they want to teach in an urban school following their fellowship year. The purpose of this program is to become unusually effective, rockstar rookie teachers.
