There is a major gap in US education. I wonder if you’ve experienced it? I have. Few schools have been designed to equip students with the mindsets, tools, and skills necessary to navigate our complex society and rapidly changing world of work.
nXu wants to change this. It’s a national non-profit on a mission to catalyze and equip youth and adults to explore, articulate, and pursue their purpose so that they can navigate their personal and professional journeys with confidence.
Did you know that youth with a strong sense of purpose experience greater life satisfaction and physical, mental, and emotional well-being, perform better in school, and have higher rates of college retention?
And adults with a strong sense of purpose experience greater life satisfaction, financial and professional success, resiliency, and longevity. Yet less than 25% of high school students and only 50% of adults have a clear sense of purpose.
If this problem excites you and you love providing critical operational support to fast-paced teams in start-up, this Operations Coordinator role might be perfect for you. You bring a Bachelor’s degree, 2+ years of experience, and an entrepreneurial spirit (among other quals).
What I love
nXu was founded by nationally recognized educators.
The team’s programming is research & evidence-based.
The role is structured so that you can try it on, i.e., it isn’t permanent. You’ll work FT through the end of the year and, if it floats your boat and you’ve kicked a**, there’s the potential for a longer term opportunity.
Finally…this work is SO needed. As a student for 18 years and now a business leader and educator, I see the gap that this team is focused on, and I know it needs filling if we’re going to have a shot as a human family at a better life for all. I think when your head hits the pillow each night, you’ll feel a huge sense of satisfaction from this work!
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you - a great way to build your social impact scenius!
