A journey powered by connection and collective action
Our story began in 2016 with the Ensina Trainee program, which remains at the heart of our work. Since then, we’ve directly impacted more than 430,000 students, reached millions more indirectly, and built a network of over 1,300 leaders across Brazil.
In 2025, we expanded our work to develop and connect leaders across the education system, from the classroom to public administration, through two new programs: Lampiar and Impulso. After all, if we want every child to have access to quality education, we need leaders working together across the education system.

Teach for All
Connections that make a difference
Teach For All is a global network working to expand educational opportunities in more than 60 countries, supporting organizations like Ensina Brasil. Through this collaboration, we share evidence, learn from one another, and work together to address complex challenges and turn promising ideas into lasting results, both around the world and here in Brazil.
The network was founded by Wendy Kopp, based on the Teach For America model, created in 1990 in the United States.
