Diversity in all its forms, from job title to years of membership, is among the UFT’s strengths. Our union has more than 200,000 members, including some 78,000 teachers, 26,000 paraprofessionals and 20,000 other related service providers, as well as more than 5,500 members who work in nonprofit organizations and hospitals. But we are also varied in terms of age, location, ethnicity, education and more. These infographics capture some of the dimensions of our rich and diverse union.
