Program Manager, Accelerated Pathways Initiative

The Fund is seeking a full-time program manager to focus on the Accelerated Pathways Initiative. The Accelerated Pathways Initiative is a collaborative effort of City Schools, the Fund, OSI-Baltimore, the Baltimore Education Research Consortium (BERC) and other partners. To launch this initiative, the staff of the Fund and City Schools designed a supportive, engaging accelerator program targeted to the needs of largely poor urban youth. This pilot program – based on research, feedback from Baltimore City students, and successful programs in other districts – opened its doors on the shared campus of WEB DuBois and Reginald F. Lewis high schools in Fall 2011. The new program manager position will be based in our Mt. Vernon office and will coordinate City Schools’ Accelerated Pathways Initiative over the next five years. The program manager will be responsible for supporting City Schools and its staff to ensure the success of the Accelerated Pathways programs or schools including building relationships and working collaboratively with counterparts in City Schools, related public agencies, partner organizations, and private foundations; and coordinating the design and launch and supporting the implementation of four new accelerated pathway programs or schools that serve students who want or need to accelerate.
