This summer, be part of a transformative experience for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities with exceptional potential in math.

Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking enthusiastic mathematics instructors for a 5 week long summer day camp. Faculty teach at least one course of their own design (pre-packaged courses designed by BEAM are available to teach as a second course if desired) to curious middle school students from low-income and historically marginalized communities and help us to build a community of math-lovers. Ideal Faculty candidates are middle school and high school teachers interested in enrichment math. We also welcome applications from college or university professors with strong teaching backgrounds. Junior faculty positions are also available for graduate students and early career teachers.

Covid-19 Note:  While our intention is to hold our programs in person, we reserve the right to hold our programs virtually for the Summer of 2023 depending on community spread of COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the situation and give updates as needed. All employees that work in-person at Summer Away sites must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to their first day of work  as a term and condition of employment at BEAM.  In addition to being fully vaccinated, BEAM requires all eligible employees to receive a booster. Proof of vaccination will be required.

For more information, please review our Safety Policies.

What You’ll Do:

As a Faculty member, you are a key component of the structure of our program. It is important to us that students are presented with challenging mathematical topics and that they are at the center of the math that happens in the classroom.  Our students are inquisitive and enjoy working hands-on, discovering deep mathematics to grow as mathematicians. In a BEAM classroom, students work to discover patterns, connect with each other over their discoveries, make conjectures, and share arguments in favor of or against those conjectures with classmates and their instructor. You’ll support that by:

• Teaching interesting mathematics courses to engaged middle school students. Full-time faculty members teach two 5-week courses that run concurrently (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) and have two sections each. Part-time faculty members teach just one 5-week course with two sections (both in either the morning or the afternoon). Courses at BEAM Discovery can be:
  • Logical Reasoning introduces logical reasoning including deductive logic, case analysis, working methodically, and proof by contradiction
  • Math Fundamentals leads students to understand mathematics from school (especially foundation, elementary topics) on a deeper, more conceptual level
  • Creative Problem Solving exposes students to problems that require creativity, often through math contest problems (or topics that appear often in middle school math contests)
  • Applied Math introduces students to applications of math, such as programming, astronomy, mathematical biology (such as predator and prey models, or genetics), or estimation and Fermi problems
• Preparing class materials that allow students to do mathematics (rather than hear about mathematics)
• Leading classes designed to provoke student curiosity and inquiry; ideally, this would be done via activities built to allow students to explore/develop the math directly through their work (as opposed to copying examples and applying them) and where students are given time and space to  productively struggle and to get through that struggle
• Supporting student learning, growth, and love of mathematics by fostering positive relationships and being an engaged member of the community during camp activities, such as working with students during Open Math Time, judging Relays,  and/or (optionally) eating lunch with students
• Attending staff meetings (typically 1-2 times a week) that include time for building community amongst summer staff, engaging in professional development, and aligning on upcoming priorities

BEAM Discovery is a day camp, so it isn’t necessarily a typical teaching job, but we think that’s one of the great things about working with us! Our faculty teach courses they are passionate about and our students have the ability to choose which classes they take: this fosters a strong, positive relationship between enthusiastic learners and faculty who get to share their love of mathematics with them each day.

Who You Are:

Strong candidates will work well on a close-knit team and will be able to bring unique curriculum perspectives to the program. Experience with mathematics curriculum design for middle school audiences, with students from low-income or historically marginalized backgrounds or at Title 1 schools, and with other extracurricular outreach programs (such as math summer programs or math circles, MATHCOUNTS, programming workshops, or similar) are all beneficial. We will provide mentorship, textbooks, and other resources as needed. Beyond the classroom, we expect that faculty will create a fun and inclusive community with the students.

We’re interested in hiring people who are committed to growth. Faculty often return to work with us for multiple summers, and the feedback we get is that working for us allows them to identify and tackle growth opportunities that translate to their year-round jobs. We believe that we have as much to learn from our students as they do from us!

Details:

Location: BEAM Discovery’s Los Angeles campus is in the Pico-Union/Koreatown area. The exact names of the campus location will be provided later.

Program dates:

• The LA dates will be June 20 – August 1, 2023*
• The NYC dates will be June 30 – August 15, 2023 (with July 3-4 off)*

* These dates are inclusive of the 5-week camp as well as pre-camp training and set-up and post-camp wrap-up. During this period, you would work Mondays – Fridays.

Compensation: $5,670 for Faculty for the time that the program runs. Part time positions are available and paid hourly with an expected compensation rate of around $3360. We do have a Senior Faculty position with $7,350 compensation for candidates who have grown with us over multiple summers or are exceptionally strong fits for the role. Eligibility for the Senior Faculty position will be assessed during the Faculty hiring process.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the US. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visa at this time. International graduate students able to obtain CPT or OPT are welcome to apply.

Overview

Youth Communication (YC) is growing and seeking a dynamic and experienced Director of Partnership Development to deepen YC’s impact and develop partnerships with schools, districts, government agencies, and community-based youth programs. YC provides curricula and professional development based on true stories written by teens. Our programs enable schools and other youth-serving organizations to create supportive, culturally responsive learning communities. We are committed to teens of color and other young adults whose voices need to be heard.

The Director of Partnership Development will be responsible for building deep and broad relationships with school leaders and other decision-makers. The position requires knowledge of (and the ability to discover) school and agency funding streams and curriculum adoption timelines. It also requires the ability to build relationships with decision-makers at the school, agency, and district levels.

As an ideal candidate for this position, you are energetic, entrepreneurial, highly self-directed, and hands-on, with a proven track record of securing customers and closing sales. You possess strong relationship building skills, the capacity to establish a strong rapport with YC’s existing partners, and a deep passion for YC’s mission to amplify youth voice.

Given the complex nature of the curriculum adoption and professional development purchasing process, this job will require frequent virtual and in person meetings with principals and district staff both in NYC and nationwide. Occasional regional and national travel may also be required. They will also work closely with our Executive Director, Managing Director of External Relations, Marketing Director, and the YC education team to identify potential school partners and funding sources, determine their needs and how YC’s programs and services can meet them, and enlist them in supporting or purchasing YC programs.

Youth Communication is pursuing ambitious growth goals for our culturally responsive, social and emotional learning programs. Over the next three years, we aim to scale our programs across New York City public schools and build roads to expansion across the country. This role is a crucial element of that plan. The Director of Partnership Development must be agile and ready to adapt to these new opportunities for growth.

YC is operating with a hybrid model, with an expectation of at least two days of in-person work a week.

About Youth Communication

YC elevates the power of youth voices to improve the lives of young people who are the furthest from opportunity, including youth of color, youth living in poverty, experiencing housing instability, and in foster care. We provide powerful, teen-written stories and professional development that help educators and youth workers connect with teens and build their social and emotional skills.

Our professional development and curricula are based on true stories written by teens in YC’s intensive writing program. These stories make YC’s professional development programs and services unique in the field and exceptionally engaging for teens.

Youth Communication currently has a $1.9M+ operating budget, with 90% funded through philanthropic support and 10% through earned income from our PD services. This year, our goal is to secure $400K in earned income.

The ideal candidate will be both highly collaborative and self-directed. We are looking for a teammate who brings an outcomes-oriented approach to providing solutions that authentically center youth voice and lead to the creation of safer, more supportive, and inclusive schools and communities.

The Director of Partnership Development will be expected to fully engage in Youth Communication’s diversity, equity, and inclusion work. This will include regularly reflecting on their own intersectional identities, infusing their own work with an equity mindset, and holding themselves and their colleagues accountable.

About Inwood Academy for Leadership

Inwood Academy for Leadership Charter School is a tuition-free public charter school that began as an idea among community members who longed to see more educational choices offered to the children of Washington Heights and Inwood.

Strategy Lead, Bridging (Program Officer)

Einhorn Collaborative is seeking a Strategy Lead (similar to the “Program Officer” role at peer foundations) to drive our Bridging strategy and portfolio. The Strategy Lead will be responsible for advancing a long-term strategy to identify, fund, and support organizations that are helping members of Gen Z become more civic-minded and gain skills to build strong collaborative relationships across lines of difference.

Einhorn Collaborative is partnering with RCG Talent Solutions to support our search for the Strategy Lead position. Please direct all questions to the RCG team at openroles@rcgtalent.com.

About Einhorn Collaborative:

Einhorn Collaborative is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to addressing America’s growing crisis of connection. We work with a wide range of researchers, community leaders, cultural influencers, and funders to help Americans build stronger relationships, embrace our differences, and rediscover our shared humanity — so we can solve our most urgent challenges together.

To advance this mission, Einhorn Collaborative’s strategy focuses on four interconnected, mutually reinforcing areas of human connection:

• Bonding: Developing our capacity to nurture healthy relationships by fostering emotional connection between babies and their parents/caregivers.
• Bridging: Equipping young people with the skills and experiences to build relationships across lines of differences.
• Building: Building systems and institutions that strengthen social connection and cohesion.
• Belonging: Amplifying narratives that foster a culture of empathy, trust, collaboration, and belonging.

As a foundation, our approach is grounded in collaboration and collective impact. We believe in making impactful investments by bringing together field leaders and peer funders across varying ideological, racial, religious, socioeconomic, and geographic differences to listen, learn, and take on shared challenges and opportunities. We fuel the conditions for collaboration among these actors to harness collective wisdom and develop joint efforts to achieve more lasting outcomes.

More information about the foundation can be found here: www.einhorncollaborative.org.

About Einhorn Collaborative’s Bridging Strategy:

To help cultivate a more socially cohesive society, we need many more bridge-builders – people who have the motivation, skills, values, and behaviors to help others navigate divides and work together to address civic problems. Adolescence (12-25 years of age) is the ripest developmental stage where identity and values are formed. Young people have an openness to new people and ideas. By participating in high-quality bridging experiences, young people have the opportunity to become bridge-builders and gain the skill sets and lifelong habits needed to address community needs and repair our social fabric now and in the future.

Our current Bridging strategy seeks to increase the quality and quantity of bridging experiences in three key settings that reach young people:

• Civic learning as the universal preparation across middle and high schools, with an emphasis on New York State.
• Community-engaged learning (CEL) as an effective pedagogical approach in higher-education, with an emphasis on Einhorn Collaborative’s partnership with Cornell University as an exemplar institution committed to providing all students with high-quality CEL opportunities.
• National service as a high-dosage model to develop future leaders committed to bridge-building.

We also seek to shift American culture to incentivize, resource, and celebrate bridging as a critical component of positive youth development and recognize the need and opportunity to effectively elevate youth voice.

In the spirit of the collaboration we wish to see in the world, our staff seeks to engage a wide range of stakeholders including grantee partners, industry leaders, peer funders, community members, young people, and many others to shape and influence the approach we take with our work. We seek to build deep, supportive relationships with our grantee partners –offering resources, time, and networking opportunities to them in support of our shared work.

Candidates who advance to the semi-finalist and finalist rounds will receive more detailed information about the Bridging strategy.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Strategy Lead will implement and refine our Bridging strategy and serve as an active participant in several collaborative efforts to provide more young people with high-quality bridging experiences. In future years, the Strategy Lead will have the opportunity to develop the next iteration of the Bridging strategy, informed by insights from Einhorn Collaborative’s current work.

In their first year, the Strategy Lead will assume leadership of our existing strategy as outlined above, build strong relationships across relevant ecosystems, and connect with our existing team and culture. In 2024, the Strategy Lead will take learnings from their first year in the role to set the long-term strategy for our Bridging work in partnership with our Executive Director and other staff members.

Given that Einhorn Collaborative is a very small and talented team of seven committed to effecting positive social change, we have established a culture and routine centered on advising and supporting each other. In addition to energy spent leading the Bridging work, the Strategy Lead will also spend substantial time collaborating across our team and will assume leadership and support roles in internal, cross-portfolio initiatives, and organization-wide priorities in a fully emergent way.

The ideal Strategy Lead is an experienced strategist driven by impact and relationships. The Strategy Lead will need to successfully communicate with and inspire partners at every level – from middle schoolers to University Presidents. Most importantly, the Strategy Lead will need a deep understanding of and passion for Gen Z and will bring a deep belief in their potential to be a bridge-building generation.

Role Responsibilities:

Manage and Evolve Bridging Strategy:

• Assume leadership of the Bridging strategy theory of action.
• Leverage an emergent strategic approach and an expansive learning orientation to support active investments and efforts in the Bridging strategy.
• After the first year or so in the role, develop recommendations for continuation and/or new partnerships that will most effectively advance the Bridging Strategy.
• Develop deep, collaborative, and reciprocal relationships with a wide range of peers, partners, researchers, and prospects to better inform the Bridging Strategy.

Identify, Manage, and Support Grantee Partnerships:

• Source, evaluate, recommend, and manage multi-year philanthropic partnerships to advance concrete projects that complement collaborative efforts.
• Establish and nurture co-funding partnerships with peer philanthropic organizations to aggregate capital toward collaborative projects.
• Create and execute impact measurement strategies to track progress at the project and strategy level while minimizing unnecessary reporting burden on grantee partners.
• Support grantee partners in meaningful ways that help them realize their impact goals including offering coaching, connecting them to resources, connecting them to people, and otherwise rooting for their success.
• Build connections across grantee partners, when mutually advantageous, in meaningful and efficient ways.

Thought Leadership:

In partnership with Einhorn Collaborative’s Belonging Lead,

• Raise the profile of Einhorn Collaborative, the Bridging strategy, and the work of grantee partners through traditional media, social media, and speaking engagements.
• Represent Einhorn Collaborative and effectively communicate Einhorn Collaborative’s core mission and vision and the Bridging strategy specifically to a wide range of stakeholders.
• Identify and participate in opportunities to connect with others in philanthropy to advance the Bridging strategy’s efforts and goals.

Cross-Portfolio Support:

• Design and lead organization-wide internal projects to advance Einhorn Collaborative’s commitment to connection, progress, and learning.
• Review peer funding recommendations from other strategies to support cross-portfolio emergent learning, due diligence, etc.

About Overdeck Family Foundation

Overdeck Family Foundation (“the Foundation”) was founded in 2011 by John and Laura Overdeck with the goal of providing all children the opportunity to unlock their potential. The Foundation focuses exclusively on enhancing education, funding efforts both inside and outside of school in the areas of early childhood, informal STEM education, and K-9 programs that include supporting educators and student-centered learning environments. Our grantmaking and strategic support focus on unlocking innovation, evidence, and growth opportunities for organizations and researchers that are committed to accelerating key academic and socioemotional outcomes for all children. The Foundation funds both direct impact organizations and ecosystem efforts that clear the path to scale for our grantees and the work that they do.

The Foundation is seeking a full-time Portfolio Manager to lead the Exceptional Educators portfolio. Reporting to the Associate Program Director, and managing an Associate Program Officer, the Portfolio Manager will work collaboratively to refine and clarify the investment strategy for the portfolio, build and nurture relationships across the K-9 ecosystem (with a primary focus on empowering educators), and use a scientific method approach to hypothesize and sharpen strategies to support early stage and growth stage ventures to scale, cost effectively and sustainably, to improve academic and socioemotional outcomes for kids. Given the nature of this work, the Portfolio Manager should expect 10-20 percent of this role to include travel for grantee site visits, conferences, and funder meetings.

Visit www.overdeck.org for more information. To learn more about our Exceptional Educators portfolio, visit the websites of some of our partner organizations: Teaching Lab, EdReports.org, Leading Educators, and Public Impact’s Opportunity Culture.

  • Form a hypothesis and narrative for each investment to create actionable, written grant recommendations and present these to the Board of Trustees
  • Build a balanced portfolio of investments grounded in the potential of each organization to spur innovation, build evidence, and grow to deliver impact while also ensuring that the overall portfolio realizes ecosystem-level impact with minimized risk
• Provide strategic support to grantees:
  • Become a credible and valuable partner for grantee organizations, and strategically connect them with supports in four key focus areas: 1) revenue models, 2) cost analysis, 3) impact evaluation, and 4) growth channels
  • Manage and prioritize allocation of strategic supports to grantees in service of grantee and portfolio goals, grounded in an understanding of the holistic needs of individual grantees and the portfolio, including direct supports, third-party supports, and portfolio-wide learning experiences

• Influence the field:

A team leader who enjoys managing, coaching, and developing direct reports. A colleague who seeks reciprocal learning and growth from colleagues at every level. You deeply believe in the potential of all professionals to learn and grow. You look forward to building and sustaining an effective, growth-oriented, and inclusive team. You are able to collaboratively set a clear vision for the Exceptional Educators investment portfolio and you can map individual roles and responsibilities in service of this vision across your team.

A values-driven and empathetic leader who will find success in our context. You operate with a high level of self-awareness, humility, and emotional intelligence and you value the same in your colleagues. You engage in conflict confidently and with kindness. You are excited about working in an environment where complex problems are being considered. You are able to articulate and navigate tensions with an orientation towards understanding and valuing multiple perspectives. You don’t shy away from holding two opposing ideas at once and you are comfortable with not knowing or not agreeing and committing.

Required experience:

• Bachelor’s degree

About Read Ahead

Read Ahead is dedicated to helping New York City youth strengthen the literacy and social-emotional skills they need to thrive in school and beyond. 

Since 1991, Read Ahead has connected public elementary school students with caring mentors from leading corporate and community partners. During weekly sessions, mentors and mentees read together, discuss books and their lives, and engage in fun and educational games and activities. Read Ahead sessions are designed to help children grow their confidence, love of reading, literacy skills, and other skills essential for success. 

In 2020, Read Ahead developed a completely virtual program to provide essential support during a challenging year of remote and hybrid learning. Combining our 30 years of experience with new technology platforms and an educator-designed curriculum, Read Ahead continues to match children with supportive mentors for fun, live program sessions that build connection, confidence, literacy skills, and more. 

With the development of our new virtual program, and anti-racism and anti-oppression commitments (https://readahead.org/anti-oppression-commitments-oct2020/), Read Ahead has an opportunity to deepen our impact for students. We are committed to ongoing improvement as an organization, and are eager to take bold new steps to create better outcomes for the students, families, and schools we serve.

Read Ahead expects each staff member to be an active and engaged collaborator in Read Ahead’s organization-wide efforts to advance DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging)  goals including, but not limited to, participating in team meetings and ensuring that all project plans and outcomes are aligned with DEIB goals.
