Charter Schools Now (CSN) is the advocacy arm of the public charter school community in Texas. Its mission is to support and advocate for public charter schools to ensure every family has the ability to choose a high-quality public school.


A. Job Summary

  • Build relationships with school advocacy leads to encourage greater participation in advocacy.
  • Track and follow school events through social media, newsletters, email blasts to support policymaker connections with schools.
