Imagine if K-12 education was designed for all students to develop lives of meaning and purpose? In 2015 Wayfinder was founded at the Stanford d.school to answer this call. Our vision is to become the preeminent SEL curriculum company in the world - leading the global movement of purpose, meaning, and belonging-based education world wide.
You will be supporting a team of incredibly motivated and dedicated staff members that are committed to living the values of our organization. We have a close culture where team members get to know one another and work collaboratively across teams. We feel and act like a purpose-driven organization. Read this article by our Founder about our workplace culture in Conscious Company. We also value access, equity, diversity, and belonging. This is represented primarily in three ways: our product, our staff, and our schools.
Wayfinder is searching for an Education Funding Contractor to support our team! The goal of this contract position is to help Wayfinder’s leadership team and district partners get a sense of the changing K12 funding landscape in each of our priority states. With the impending ESSER cliff, some states are preparing to boost state level funding to mitigate the effects of the drop in federal funding, or are creating specific grant programs that districts can apply to. Meanwhile, other states do not appear poised to address this cliff at all and will let this federal infusion of funds end without a plan to increase state funding. Wayfinder is looking to contract with an individual with a deep understanding of K12 funding in the United States to help us understand how our key 10-15 states are planning to respond to the phasing out of ESSER.
