ABOUT MINDS MATTER
Minds Matter is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect driven and determined students from low-income families to the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.
Since 1991, every Minds Matter student has been admitted to a four-year college. Our success is rooted in holistic programming and a unique model that puts dedicated volunteers at the forefront of our work with students. Our model identifies high potential students from low-income households, unites them with college-bound peers and committed volunteers, prepares them for college with a mix of hard and soft skills, and will support them through college and into career.
Minds Matter serves more than a thousand students at 14 independently run chapters across the nation; the National office exists to foster excellence at each of those chapters. We do this by collaborating with chapter staff and volunteers to build capacity, providing curriculum and evaluating programs, and facilitating data sharing between chapters.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The Chief Program Officer is responsible for all aspects of the organization’s program strategy, which includes an overall strategy for the organization, the management of college access program, and the development of our upcoming college and career attainment programs. This role reports to the Chief Executive Officer and is a critical member of the leadership team at Minds Matter National.
The Chief Program Officer will have the opportunity to forge a new path for Minds Matter as we embark on a bold vision to broaden and deepen our impact on students. A successful Chief Program Officer will be able to learn from, partner with, and influence chapter staff and volunteers while maintaining a focus on both high-level strategy that generates superior student outcomes and on-the-ground implementation that helps chapters deliver exceptional programming.
