Urban Teacher Fellowship
Urban Teacher Fellowship (UTF)
The Urban Teacher Fellowship is designed to target both the need for stable employment for South Bay residents, and the shortage of qualified, highly-skilled teachers in South Bay schools.
Program Services: The goal of the program is to prepare disadvantaged youth and adults for employment in the after-school workforce, and create career pathways leading to community and teaching careers in Los Angeles County. The program will train and place economically disadvantaged individuals in a two year degree program leading to an accelerated teaching pathway at California State University Dominguez Hills. In addition to academic training, UTF will address the need for social support and guidance by including a support network to work directly with each participant to assist them with their academic and social needs, including case management and tutoring.
