Ally Organizations

The Broad Center for the Management of School Systems is dedicated to raising student achievement by recruiting, training and supporting executive leadership talent from across America to become the next generation of urban school district leaders. To that end, we identify, evaluate and form long-term, cooperative agreements with ally organizations, which leverage the strengths and resources of both organizations.

Our current Ally Organizations include:

The Education Pioneers Fellows Program is a 10-week summer internship program for talented graduate students in business, education, law, policy and other disciplines to work with effective districts, schools and education organizations and learn from education leaders.

Over the course of the summer, Fellows work on challenging projects to gain practical experience and convene as a cohort for five training sessions, two retreats and regular networking events.

Education Pioneers have the opportunity to network with Broad Residents at one of the summer training sessions. Most of Education Pioneers’ partner districts have Broad Residents currently working in central operations. This allows Fellows to gain insight into the Broad Residency experience. Based on their summer performance, Fellows who meet Broad Residency criteria and work in a district or CMO may be eligible for an accelerated path to join The Broad Residency.

The PhD Project is an alliance of foundations, corporations, universities, and professional and academic organizations dedicated to increasing minority representation in the business world.

The PhD Project's mission is to increase the diversity of corporate America by increasing the diversity of business school faculty. We attract African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans to business Ph.D. programs, and provide a network of peer support on their journey to becoming professors. As faculty, they serve as role models attracting and mentoring minority students while improving the preparation of all students for our diverse workplace and society.

Teach For America is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort.

Teach For America recruits outstanding recent college graduates and working professionals from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for at least two years in urban and rural public schools. They provide the training and ongoing support necessary to ensure their success as teachers in low-income communities.

During their two-year commitments, Teach For America corps members see firsthand that educational inequity is solvable and gain a grounded understanding of how to solve it. Beyond these two years, Teach For America alumni bring strong leadership to all levels of the school system and every professional sector, addressing the extra challenges facing children growing up in low-income communities, building the capacity of schools and districts, and changing the prevailing ideology through their examples and advocacy.
