There may be occasions for a weekend experience, e.g.: staff retreat or event; however, those will be communicated well in advance to account for planning and coordination.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
The Possible Zone (TPZ), a nonprofit organization, seeks an Educator Advisor to lead students through TPZ's Entrepreneurship curriculum and engage students in targeted college-career readiness through our Pathways Advisor. The ideal candidate has experience teaching a group of high school students and facilitation with young adults.
Educator-Advisors should expect to contribute ideas to TPZ's program development and ongoing curriculum design.
Educator-Advisors will teach groups of high school students in our school day and after-school program, supported by STEAM experts or other skilled adults. Utilizing TPZ's Entrepreneurship curriculum, instructors will facilitate students' engagement in design-thinking, ideation, iteration, prototyping, and development of a business plan and product. Educator-Advisors will also facilitate a small group advisory where they will provide opportunities for students to reflect on their learning, identify post-secondary pathways, set goals, and compile an e-portfolio to share with external audiences.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
A successful first year in this role will include:
QUALIFICATIONS:
Content knowledge:
Experience in 1 or more of the following:
Compensation & Benefits:
The Possible Zone offers a robust compensation and benefits package including high-quality
health benefits and an employer contribution to your 401(k) plan.
Salary Range: $65,000 - $80,000 commensurate with experience
DEI Statement:
We believe every member of our team and student body deserves opportunities for growth,
success and inclusion. We recognize that for many of our students, staff and communities, their
life journeys run through oppressive structures and systems (e.g. classism, racism, sexism) —
and that's what makes our organizational culture and work so necessary and important.
We believe that diversity in perspective, backgrounds, ethnicities and lived experience is a
strength, and from that strength, we can accomplish great things with the students we serve.
Together as students, staff, organizations, communities, volunteers, and partners, we are
intentional about creating safe spaces where all members can speak authentically and be
themselves.
We are committed to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. As members of The Possible Zone
community, our progression along this ongoing journey raises thoughtful questions, reveals
biases, and opens conversations. We celebrate one another and are unified in our commitment
to young people, excellence, and innovation. This work is our shared responsibility and our
opportunity to welcome all members who share in our mission and strive to provide pathways
that further prepare students in achieving their desired success.
COVID Vaccination Policy
The Possible Zone is requiring that all employees receive a primary series of COVID-19
vaccination as well as a booster dose. Being fully vaccinated means that an individual is at least
two weeks past their final dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine regimen, and receives a
booster dose when eligible. In order to be qualified for employment at The Possible Zone, final
candidates must comply with the vaccination requirement or receive an approved exemption.
ABOUT THE POSSIBLE ZONE:
What if all young people could follow their dreams? What if they had the opportunity to design
and launch a company or social-venture they were passionate about? What if they knew what
an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, industrial designer, data scientist, marketing executive,
electrical engineer, biotech researcher, advanced manufacturer, roboticist, game designer,
journalist, nonprofit leader or mayor does and why? What if they were given the opportunity to
intern in these positions and work settings while still in high school? And what if they had the
chance to learn the foundational professional and technical skills needed to succeed in any of
these careers? And very importantly, what if they develop a mindset, where their imagination
and creativity can be fully explored, where everything is possible and where no boundaries
exist? Would young people believe they could pursue these careers or any others they choose?
Would they become what they had dreamed?
At The Possible Zone, our resounding answer is YES We are on a journey to develop a
transformative model and facility in the heart of Boston's most diverse and youth-populated
communities.
TPZ is an eleven-year-old non-profit organization that has served well over 1,000 students with
programming, internships and advisory services during high school toward the mission of
economic equity. Our program has demonstrated strong impact in terms of high school
graduation, matriculation into post-secondary education and careers, and strong Social
Emotional Learning and Identity Development. As we further expand into Boston, TPZ
Programming will catalyze a Boston Community Ecosystem that will include students, parents,
high schools, community organizations, large corporations, local entrepreneurs, technology
companies, venture capitalists, and postsecondary education institutions. Our intent is to join
and continue to enhance a Student Ecosystem in Jackson Square and surrounding communities
that are similar to those that have emerged in other Greater Boston areas such as Kendall Square
and the Seaport District. Collectively we will dream, learn, work, and ultimately create leadership
opportunities for economic mobility and prosperity for our students and their surrounding
community. Importantly, TPZ is highly committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in everything we
do. And as we establish success in our Boston Headquarters, we will scale our efforts to replicate
TPZ's blueprint at a National level.
We envision a program and space that serves tens-of-thousands of students over the next
decade(s). When a student enters the program, they will be:
... greeted, coached, taught, counseled and supported by highly trained, caring staff and
partners in entrepreneurship and business, leadership and team building, passion and
perseverance, learning and accountability and empathy and integrity.
... challenged to pursue their passions and launch ventures in everything from electronics,
software, digital media, services, fashion, food, to consumer goods
... equipped with the life skills essential to thrive in the emerging economy
... building social networks through connection to professional mentoring and internships with
hundreds of local companies
... supported when needed through wrap-around services in academic tutoring, ESL, mental
health, food security, and college success by partner organizations.
Ultimately, through their experiences and growth at TPZ, and with our partners, our students will
be prepared and inspired to attend college, alternative post-secondary education and launch
careers in their community, where they will pursue their passions in business, STEAM,
Community and Entrepreneurial organizations.
Our students - all students - deserve to pursue their passions and achieve economic equity.
CURRENT SCALING (WHAT'S NEXT?)
In 2022, TPZ opened a 35,000 sq. ft. Innovation Center that can serve up to 1,000 students annually. The organization employs 70+ professionals with plans to grow in Boston and beyond in the coming years. TPZ offers a strong professional development ethos; a fast-paced entrepreneurial culture, innovative curriculum pedagogy, and a commitment to excellence and student impact.
