Who can participate?
FTP recruits high school students throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond who are genuinely interested in becoming teachers. Students who come from groups that are traditionally under-represented in the teaching profession are especially encouraged to apply.
How do I apply?
Every spring, FTP recruits interested students by visiting local schools. We'd love to recruit at your school! Please contact your school counselor or teacher to arrange a visit. You can also contact the FTP office directly at (408) 554-4792 or through email at ppoulsen@scu.edu.
