Pitch With A Purchase


Pitch with a Purpose is a Teach For America - Greater Delta competition to celebrate current and rising Alumni-led initiatives and innovations in Arkansas and Mississippi.

These actions facilitate leadership, bolster opportunity for the students and communities we serve, and that ensure we demonstrate forward progress to "One Day" in our two states.

We aim to provide a platform for applicants to network, highlight, strengthen and materialize the dozens of entrepreneurial and/or social innovation initiatives that both disrupt current systems of inequity and provide pathways to economic mobility - in alignment with our 2030 Goals.

About Us

The story of Teach For America’s work in the Greater Delta is nearly 30 years in the making, but is based on a rich history that stretches back much further. 

Though the popular narrative about Arkansas and Mississippi is often deficit-based and focuses on a history of oppression, what is also true is that this region has repeatedly set the vision and standard for what is possible when communities come together to fight for change. Holding this context close, our regional mission is to find new opportunities to create further impact based on the lessons learned from the people who came before us.

From Freedom Rides and Schools, to navigating unparalleled economic limitations, to national news-making integration efforts that continue to this day, we have much to learn from the educators and equity workers who have started to write the playbook for change in such a landscape.
