TeacherUp

The Teacher Pipeline Project's next chapter — run by Upward Scholars, supporting adult immigrant students from low-income households as they study early childhood education.

An early childhood education career pathways outreach event

TeacherUp is what the Teacher Pipeline Project grew into. Run by Upward Scholars and formally launched in January 2023 after a transition period spent listening to students and community partners, TeacherUp supports adult immigrant students from low-income households studying early childhood education.

What students receive

  • Tutoring and academic support
  • Financial assistance and stipends for program time outside academic classes
  • Laptops, food vouchers, and transportation assistance

CEC launched and scaled the original pilot; Upward Scholars now carries the work forward. Learn more at upwardscholars.org/teacherup.
