Math for America

Math for America (MfA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 by mathematician Jim Simons. The organization aims to improve mathematics and science education in U.S. public secondary schools by focusing on the recruitment, training, and retention of high-quality teachers. Initially centered in New York City, MfA has expanded its mission nationwide. MfA offers various programs to support mathematics teachers. Its fellowship programs provide stipends, free tuition for a Master's in teaching, and ongoing professional development. The organization also offers resources for classroom support and a specialized program, YES X Math for America, which empowers STEM educators to teach cancer education and health equity. MfA primarily targets individuals interested in teaching mathematics and supports existing teachers in their professional growth.
