TeachRock is thrilled to be an Official Charity Partner for the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half-Marathon! The energy is contagious as our amazing team- comprised of TeachRock educators and supporters- prepare to take on each mile, raising vital funds to support TeachRock.

TeachRock is on a mission to help every student discover joy, meaning, and a sense of purpose by bringing core curriculum to life through music and culture. Our free, standards-aligned curriculum helps teachers improve academic outcomes by engaging students in ways that feel personal and powerful. TeachRock isn’t just a resource—it’s a movement of more than 80,000 teachers and 1 million students who are turning up the volume on education.

Founded by Stevie Van Zandt with the support of Bono, Jackson Browne, Martin Scorsese, and Bruce Springsteen, TeachRock was created to help address the student dropout crisis by keeping music and the arts in the DNA of education. What began as a mission to prevent disengagement has evolved into a movement—one that meets a generation of students growing up isolated, distracted, and overwhelmed, and helps them reconnect to learning in ways that feel personal, relevant, and real.
