Helping aspiring educators become a teacher for free and get paid to do so via Grow Your Own registered apprenticeships
About us
The National Center for Grow Your Own (NCGYO) is a 501c3 non-profit organization which provides technical assistance to state education agencies and local education agencies (school districts) that are interested in launching or expanding “Grow Your Own” (GYO) programs and registered apprenticeships in teaching in partnership with educator preparation providers (EPPs). GYO and registered apprenticeships in teaching are able to help address staff shortages and build long-term teacher and school leader pipelines. In addition, these programs remove financial barriers for aspiring educators, lead to higher retention and increase educator diversity. Our founder created the "Grow Your Own" work in Tennessee in his previous role as the Chief of Human Capital for the Tennessee Department of Education. In addition, he led the application process to the U.S. Department of Labor to establish the occupation of a K-12 teacher as eligible for apprenticeship.
