Job Opening: Manager of Communications and Development

Update: The search process is on hold while we make some adjustments to our work plan and the position announcement. Once reopened, we will announce the position in our newsletter.


We seek to hire a communications and development manager for the Zinn Education Project, coordinated by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change.

Nearly 170,000 teachers have signed up to access free lessons from the Zinn Education Project. Our programs include teacher study groups, online classes, a teacher fellowship, and campaigns on the climate, Reconstruction, Teach Truth, and more. This growth in our work requires the addition of a staff person to focus on communications with educators, activists, and everyone concerned about what young people learn in schools. The new staff person will also help with fundraising to continue to offer free lessons to teachers and defend their right to use them.

The role includes newsletter and outreach materials production, press strategy, social media, conference preparation, fundraising events and correspondence, website management, and internal communications.

This is a unique opportunity to work with a dynamic team and to have a profound impact on what students learn from history about how to shape a more just future.
