WHAT YOU’LL DO

Our mission hinges on enlisting the next generation of exceptional, equity-oriented leaders to work to ensure every student receives an excellent and equitable education. This requires ensuring the leaders we admit choose the corps as an exceptional place to launch a career of impact. It requires supporting them as they study for and take required certification tests, enroll in certification programs, apply for and secure teaching positions, enroll in AmeriCorps, prepare to financially and logistically transition to the corps, and engage with summer training.

As the Vice President, Matriculation, you’ll lead the annual matriculation campaign and the multi-year strategy and investments to rapidly improve matriculation. You’ll be responsible for most effectively and efficiently supporting thousands of incredible leaders as they commit to joining us and as they navigate multiple arduous, time-sensitive processes. You’ll need to figure out how to keep them motivated and excited about the unique and incredible opportunity in Teach For America, even as competitors often continue to recruit them to opportunities that require much less of them. In recent years, we’ve made a number of important investments to move toward stronger matriculation at a lower cost per corps member. While there’s a growing number of regions with very strong matriculation, we’ve yet to improve the overall matriculation rate. We’re looking for a visionary, people-centered leader who’s energized by solving consequential challenges that require navigating multiple complex systems.
