Find Your Path to Impact
Many people want to improve education for our nation’s children. But it can be difficult to know where you can make an impact outside of being a teacher or a principal.
Since 2003, Education Pioneers has paved the path for more than 4,500 new leaders in education. We launch and advance careers of professionals who are eager to use their existing experience in our priority skill areas of data and analysis, operations, strategy, and project management to make a difference for students and families from outside the classroom.

Commitment to Diversity
At EP, we value diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that it is critical for leaders in urban education to reflect the communities they serve. We actively recruit and encourage people of color, individuals from the LGBTQIAA+ community, and others who identify as a part of historically marginalized communities to join our team. We support equal opportunity for all people and we strongly encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply for positions in our organization and for our programs.
It’s going to take all of us, working together, to reimagine public education for underserved students--who are too often students from low-income families and students of color.
Why Lead in Education?
Education is a $750 billion industry that employs 13 million people and our nation’s second largest workforce—teachers.
With a sector so large, the demand for exceptional leaders is greater than ever.
Leaders in education shape the experience of teachers and students in the classroom. They manage enormous budgets, find solutions to complex problems, and supervise diverse teams—all in the pursuit of a high-stakes goal: preparing all students for success in life. It’s challenging work, but also more meaningful than you can imagine. Learn more about the impact of Pioneers in education.
