Teachers Without Borders - Canada is a non-profit, non-denominational NGO devoted to closing the education divide through teacher professional development and community education. Our organization focuses on the building of teacher leaders. We work primarily, but not exclusively, in developing countries in order to build self-reliance, health, and capacity.

Teachers Without Borders does not plant flags; rather, we respond to requests for partnership in order to enhance teacher and community education.  We form partnerships with and generate support from individuals, corporations, governments, NGOs, local/global agencies, and stakeholders.

For us, education is a collaborative effort lasting a lifetime; our learning model is designed to connect global best practices to those - at the local level - who can build their capacity and, in so doing, change their communities. It is through this approach that we hope to connect schools and teachers for a continued and sustained relationship - enabling teachers and students to grow together through shared experiences and global education.

We are a volunteer-based organization, comprised of teachers and supported by all those who believe in education as a passport to an optimistic future. People join Teachers Without Borders - Canada because they are interested in making contributions to education as a means to enhance the human condition.
