We fulfill our mission through free digital-first experiences, grantmaking, policy advocacy, research, and impact investing.

We believe that exploring career possibilities, as early as middle school, and providing access to education-to-career pathways aligned with one’s passions and goals will result in greater confidence and long-term success for all students.

We're looking for a Communications Fellow to support our Thought Leadership team and our national-level communications efforts. This is a six-month, part-time fellowship, up to 20 hours per week, based in Boston.

• Maintain and update our editorial calendar in Asana
• Provide the execution and follow-through that lets our team focus on strategy

About You

• You have prior experience in PR, communications, journalism, or political science, including hands‑on comms internships, and you bring a proven ability to execute on administrative details
• Comfortable in Google Workspace and either know Asana or can pick up new project management tools quickly
• You can reliably turn around notes and readouts the same day
• You take feedback and edits in stride and use them to improve your work
• You exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive, executive‑or‑board‑adjacent information
