Our Summer Projects connect current Teach First trainees and ambassadors with host providers. They’re a unique opportunity to work with inspiring and motivated individuals, who will bring new skills and perspectives into your organisation.
- Access our talented community.
- Build relationships across industries.
- Gain a fresh perspective from outside your organisation.
- Help teachers develop and have an impact at classroom level.
Summer projects provider applications are now closed for 2024.
Applications for candidates will open on 2 April.
Host a trainee teacher or Teach First ambassador in your organisation this August through Summer Projects.
It’s a unique opportunity to gain capacity from our talented network and deliver impactful projects, all while supporting the development of the next generation of leaders.
Opportunities for businesses
If you’re a business (not a third sector organisation), you could partner with us to offer Summer Projects and engage in a wide variety of other volunteering and engagement opportunities.
Please email corporatepartnerships@teachfirst.org.uk to find out more.
Opportunities for third sector organisations
If you’re from a third sector organisation, we’d love to invite you to host a Summer Project with us.
Provider applications are now closed. We will release more information on hosting a Summer Project in early 2025.
How it works
- Summer Projects are internships that take place in August.
- Our trainees (trainee teachers) and ambassadors (alumni) join you to work on a project for one to three weeks.
- You will be responsible for managing the recruitment and selection process. This includes managing applications, shortlisting applicants, interviewing them, making offers and providing feedback if requested.

The Teach First interns were exceptional - they both used their teaching skills to help with the project, used their initiative and overall helped with a huge task that we would not have had capacity to do otherwise.
