Your coworker!
Your coworker is a friend, mentor, and cultural guide all rolled into one!
At your apprenticeship you two hit it off from the start. You have a shared passion for impact you're making in your community.
Your coworker not only shows you the ropes at your apprenticeship, but also introduces you to be best places to hang out after work and widens your circle of friends in the community.
Meet India Fellows and their mentors at work!
Jordan Brett (India ’15, University of St. Andrews) and other India Fellows express their gratitude to their co-teachers they taught alongside at Teach For India in this video.
