About you

You are a champion of race equity, committed to ensuring all children succeed regardless of race, socioeconomic status or zip code.

You have a strong eye for detail and are adept at setting up systems and processes to run efficient analysis.

At StriveTogether, we’re dedicated to creating equitable pathways to economic mobility.
