Job DescriptionJob Description

The Diversity in Leadership Institute (DLI) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is dedicated to creating equitable educational outcomes for Black and Latinx students in California by cultivating a diverse and culturally competent pipeline of public education leaders. With a focus on racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (RDEI), DLI seeks to transform the educational landscape by increasing the representation of Black and Latinx leaders in K-12 schools through our signature 4-pronged approach which include:

  • Leadership Fellowships: DLI offers two comprehensive programs designed to support aspiring school leaders of color in California through leadership coaching, mentorship, and professional development- the Aspiring Principals of Color Fellowship (in partnership with Loyola Marymount University) and the Diverse Leaders Fellowship (in partnership with the Los Angeles County of Education).
  • School Leaders of Color Network (SLOCN): A membership-based network that connects current and aspiring school leaders of color. It offers dedicated programming programming grounded on culturally responsive practices.
  • Consultancy: DLI works collaboratively with districts and charter schools/networks to provide critical services such as workshops, evaluation of current RDEI philosophies and practices, proposing solutions, performing assessments and reflections, and continued support.
  • Coalition Building: DLI actively engages in legislative and policy advocacy to influence the implementation of policies that support the development and retention of educators of color through the CCEC (Charting the Course to Equity Coalition).

Through these programs, DLI deepens its impact by driving systemic change, fostering leadership diversity, and ensuring that more students in California see leaders who reflect their own identities, leading to better educational outcomes.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Our team is seeking a SoCal Fellowship Director to support the VP of Leadership Development in developing and growing the Aspiring Principals of Color Fellowship. With an equity and anti-racist focused lens, the Director will help manage the Fellowship, prepare and facilitate the DLI Colloquial Sessions, participate in recruitment of fellows, and drive local engagement in Los Angeles and across Southern California. This critical role will lead facilitation of hands-on training, talent assessment, and leadership coaching for aspiring school leaders.
