Transform Education Now (TEN) is a non-profit organization that works to ensure Colorado students have access to excellent schools, regardless of their zip code. The mission of Transform Education Now is to partner with parents in order to build the skills and capacity of communities to ensure access to a world class education for all students in the Denver Metro Area. Through transparent school quality data, leadership development, and strategic partnerships, we will challenge the status quo with communities to demand high-quality schools in all neighborhoods.
TEN is part of 50CAN: The 50-State Campaign for Achievement Now, a nonprofit organization that works at the local level to advocate for a high-quality education for all kids, regardless of their address. We develop local education leaders by providing them with the research, tools, and ideas needed to create learning environments that best meet every child’s needs. 50CAN operates campaigns in Connecticut, Delaware, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Tennessee and is led by CEO & Founder Marc Porter Magee.
Guiding Principles
TEN supports parent leaders across the state to build powerful and informed teams within their local communities to push for greater access to world-class schools and systems and hold them accountable to serve the needs of families and children. TEN works in multiple districts across the front range and the state legislature in order to support a network of grassroots leaders led by passionate and well-trained parents.
The Operations Manager (OM) is an ideal role for someone who is a strong communicator and values collaboration in problem solving and is passionate about community led advocacy. The OM role will support TEN’s mission of empowering parent leaders by ensuring systematic, proactive, and efficient operations across the organization. The operations manager works seamlessly to create opportunities for engagement, leadership development, and action for families, staff, and stakeholders. The OM will work alongside the organizing teams and parent fellows to coordinate day-to-day operations systems to allow Parent Leaders to be at the forefront of policy change.
The OM will also serve an important role with TEN’s affiliated 501(c)(4) organization, TEN Collective Impact. This will include supporting leaders and advocates in contacting elected officials and engaging around important elections through proactive systems solutions. It requires someone good at taking the initiative to complete a project after being given instructions.
