"The Future Educators Association (FEA) is a national student organization dedicated to supporting young people interested in education-related careers. We are a national community of more than 10,000 student and mentor participants in school-based, grow-your-own-teacher programs. Since over 60% of teachers teach within 20 miles of where they went to high school, every community has an interest in proactively recruiting and supporting their next generation of local educators."
