Anchor Program
​
Our Anchor Program is the heart of NYC Men Teach. These are the young men making a three-year commitment to work towards New York State certification. Just as in a relay race, the anchor leg is the first person who starts the group off with the goal of passing the baton on the to the next person. As a clasroom teacher, you will be the leader in this race to pass the baton on to your students to increase educational opportunites for them.

There are two ways to commit to the Anchor Program. You can choose a traditional certification program, which would enroll you in one of our CUNY Master's proram to work on a two-year degree to then be placed in a classroom.
Or you can choose an alternative certification program, which would placed you in one of our alt-cert partners that places you in a classroom teaching full-time for two years, while you also take night classes working on certification at a partner university. If you choose the alt-cert option, NYC Men Teach asks that you add at least one year to your commitment (for a total of three) to then take part in the Mentor/Ambassador Program for the next cohort of NYC Men Teach Anchors.
