Deutsche Post DHL, the world’s leading mail and logistics company, has renewed its contract through 2015 with the global network Teach For All.

Since 2010, Deutsche Post DHL has directly supported the global network and Teach For All network partners in India, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Spain. Since 2009, the company has also been the largest sponsor of the German partner, Teach First Deutschland. The shared goal of each program is to promote educational opportunities and increase employability for young people, regardless of their background. In addition to financial support, individual DHL employees get involved in their respective partner countries. Through meaningful volunteer activities, company employees support their local organizations. Last year, more than 800 Deutsche Post DHL employees engaged directly with students and teachers through internships, career planning sessions, mentoring, and donation drives.“The long-term success, sustainability and innovative power of the economy and society depends on a strong educational system and targeted professional development. Therefore, an investment in the education and training of young people is an investment in the future,” says Frank Appel , CEO of Deutsche Post DHL. “If we help Teach For All succeed and support young people around the world, then our company, with its worldwide operations, clearly benefits. The volunteer work of our employees is a key aspect of the support we provide, as it gives the young people some very practical – and useful – insight into working life.”“Around the world, where children are born largely determines their educational outcomes and as a result, their opportunities in life. Teach For All’s partners are working to channel the energy of their nations‘ most promising future leaders against this problem in pursuit of a vision of educational opportunity for all. By asking these leaders to commit two years to teach in high-need communities, our partners are providing an additional source of talented, committed teachers; at the same time, they are shaping the priorities and career trajectories of these teachers, forming a leadership force of individuals who will ultimately work at every level of the education system, at every level of policy, and across sectors for the systemic changes we need to see to ensure opportunity for all. We’re grateful that Deutsche Post DHL is so committed to investing in tomorrow’s future and helping our network grow. Their long term collaboration has helped us to build a strong foundation for our entire network, and their increased support will strengthen and scale new partnerships in new places, ” explains Wendy Kopp, CEO and co-founder of Teach For All.Deutsche Post DHL has made – and continues to make – a lasting contribution to promoting educational opportunities and employability around the world.

Building on the record of success of experienced partners like Teach For America (US) and Teach First (UK), each organization recruits students and professionals with a diverse range of academic interests and career experiences to commit two years to teach in high-need schools and to work throughout their lives as educational advocates.
