Deadline ASAP
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Boston, Massachusetts
Citizen Schools seeks an experienced and accomplished
leader with a deep affinity for its mission to serve as its next
Chief Executive Officer. The CEO will join Citizen Schools
during a seminal time. After nearly twenty years, Eric
Schwarz, CEO and Co-Founder, has announced plans to
transition from the organization by the end of the year.
During his tenure, Citizen Schools has grown from a small
education startup in Boston to a $30M national nonprofit
and recognized thought leader in expanded learning time
and social entrepreneurship. The next CEO will enter an
organization poised to accelerate its impact.
Increased school accountability for student outcomes and
shrinking state and local budgets have created demand for
greater innovation in education. Citizen Schools has
answered this call: developing a cost-effective model that
increases student achievement, closes opportunity and
achievement gaps for low-income middle school students,
and works in diverse educational settings. With 32 school
partnerships directly serving approximately 5,300 students
in seven states, Citizen Schools has leveraged deep
community partnerships to re-imagine the school day and to
create a national policy agenda for expanded learning time
(ELT) and citizen engagement. This foundation-built on
independent research demonstrating the efficacy of its
model and implemented by a strong executive team-has
made it an exciting time for a new CEO capable of guiding
the organization's next chapter.
The successful candidate is likely to bring experience
leading a large and complex organization with a national
footprint or driving organizational growth through
partnerships. She or he will demonstrate a strong
commitment to working with public schools, policy
makers, and business leaders to close achievement and
opportunity gaps for children in
under resourced
communities. She or he will articulate a vision to lead and
scale the organization but also demonstrate the capacity to
oversee internal operations through management of an
outstanding leadership team. In addition, this position calls
for a person with proven external skills to work with the
Citizen Schools board of directors and leaders in the private
and public sectors to develop resources to maintain its fiscal
health and support program growth.
Citizen Schools has retained the services of Isaacson,
Miller to assist with this search. Review of applications and
nominations will begin immediately and continue on a
confidential basis until an appointment is made. The search
is being led by John Muckle, Principal and Jeraul Mackey,
Associate. Nominations, applications, and inquiries should
be sent in confidence to: citizenschools@imsearch.com.
Electronic submission of materials is strongly suggested.
