Martinez Fellowship - Technology Access Foundation (TAF)

We educate for liberation.

The Martinez Fellowship program is changing the culture of education by prioritizing the personal and professional growth of educators of color. Supporting them in their journey and maximizing opportunities to increase their overall representation in Washington state. Through our programming, Fellows move beyond sustaining as educators and grow into thriving and transformational education leaders.

We prepare teachers to lead, liberated.

We partner with Washington state colleges and universities to provide programming, community, and resources to teacher candidates of color to become liberated and transformational educators and future leaders. Candidates must be pursuing a B.A. in education, Masters in Education, or an alternate route to certification.

Martinez Fellows are empowered to explore and reflect on the identities that they carry and share in community with other educators and leaders of color. Through our framework, they become experts in how they can then instill and inspire their students and advocate for educational equity within their schools and districts.
