Recruiting Manager

WHO WE ARE

The Alliance for Decision Education is a nonprofit organization that is driving a revolutionary shift in the way that we think about education. Our mission is to improve lives by empowering students with essential skills and dispositions for making better decisions. We are driven by this mission, supported by science, and backed by a growing list of global luminaries and leaders.

The decisions we make shape our lives and those of the people around us. There is not a more important set of skills that we can teach today’s youth than how to approach decision-making.

The Alliance is committed to an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative culture. Our team is made up of diverse, dedicated, and driven educators, researchers, subject matter experts, and other professionals who have come from different backgrounds for a common purpose. We are a proud Equal Opportunity Employer.
