Did you know that only 1 out 5 low-income children make it to college? That’s a frightening statistic, but KIPP is a network of (mostly) charter schools that have combined to have a 95% college matriculation rate for the low-income students whom they serve. “KIPP began in 1994 when two teachers, Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, launched a fifth-grade public school program in inner-city Houston, TX, after completing their commitment to Teach For America.” The success of the initial program has led to the creation of 66 schools, all of which follow a unique approach to education. Apparently the schools are run independently, but the KIPP Foundation provides support across the network of schools – that’s why they have quite a few job opportunities outside of teaching.
KIPP does have teaching jobs, although it wasn’t our initial intent to look at those. It’s unclear whether they require prior teaching experience, but if you’d like to consider teaching at a KIPP school, you can find out more information here. As for jobs at KIPP, there are quite a few options. Job openings include School Sustainability Associate, Alumni Services Project Manager, Innovation Project Manager, Database and Reporting Analyst, and Recruitment & Selection Coordinator. None of these jobs are explicitly entry level, and most of them actually say that 3-5 years of work experience preferred, but they look fascinating. If you have an interest in education, you should definitely check out KIPP. Most of their jobs are available in Chicago, San Francisco, or New York. You can apply online for each of these jobs directly from the descriptions.
