Open Roles
Executive Director, New York Alliance for Early College Pathways
Preferred Application Deadline: February 18, 2025
Early College Pathways are one of the most proven and promising approaches to help first-generation, Black, Latine, low-income and other historically underserved students succeed in college while shortening time and cost to degree attainment. There are more than 1,400 Early College programs across the United States, with multiple states developing robust programs to support continuing growth and success. While New York State is the birthplace of Early College and P-TECH and has led in pioneering over 100 of these successful Early College Pathway models across the state, New York has trailed other states in terms of lacking statewide enabling policies and sustainable funding for Early College Pathways.
The NY4ECP Executive Director leadership role comes at a key inflection point for Early College Pathways in New York, with investment from both local and national funders in the formation of the Alliance and plans for state leaders to take action on sustainable policy and funding. The NY4ECP Executive Director’s work could prove to be central in turning promise into reality by helping catalyze and grow the number, scale and impact of Early College Pathway programs in New York to serve thousands more students, driving enduring policy change, and making a significant dent in educational inequity.
