    Job DescriptionAbout Learning Ally:

    Learning Ally is a leading nonprofit education solutions organization that transforms the lives of struggling learners by delivering proven literacy solutions that help students reach their potential. Its mission is to radically change education, transforming the lives of children by providing reading interventions and solutions to help them succeed academically, build self-confidence, and thrive in school and beyond.

    Today, Learning Ally reaches over 2,300,000 students, 615,000 educators, and 23,000 schools across the country and continues to expand its reach. With a continued commitment to supporting students who learn differently, Learning Ally has joined researchers and neuroscientists from renowned institutions, including UCSF and MIT, to better understand and address learning issues. You will find that our culture is one that is mission-driven, innovative, and committed to professional growth, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    65% of fourth graders read below proficiency and are 400% more likely to drop-out of high school. And, for "most at risk" students (students of color, low income, English Language Learners, and students with learning disabilities) the problem is even more acute.

    Learning Ally seeks to break this cycle. With early student assessment, intervention and accommodation and professional development for educators, Learning Ally can identify and prevent learning issues by working with schools and educators to support new and struggling readers. Our solutions build a strong foundation for independent, engaged learners who are empowered to achieve socially, emotionally, and academically, regardless of background or learning difference.

    Founded in 1948 as Recording for the Blind, to help soldiers who lost their sight in combat continue their education with audiobook products, Learning Ally has evolved to help individuals understand the unique ways they learn and match them to the solutions that enable personal achievement.
