Summary

Wendy Kopp founded Teach For America in 1990 with the goal of bringing education to disadvantaged communities. Five years later, the organization used Bubble's no-code platform to build a "Teacher Hub" application that assists coaches in supporting their portfolio of active teachers through a CRM-like tool. The application has been expanded over time to support corps members across each stage of their TFA journey, with features such as task management, training and placement tools, and data visualization. With Bubble's help, Teach For America was able to create a robust network of internal communications and operations without hiring expensive contractors or engineers, allowing the organization to focus on its mission and grow from 400 teachers to over 5,000 fellows reaching 350,000 students.
