From Debra-Ellen Glickstein
For the last five years, I have been the founding Executive Director of NYC Kids RISE – the organization working to build a universal wealth building platform for NYC public school students. We recently finished our pilot (read more here) and in June the Mayor announced that we would be expanding citywide. (NY Times article here) So, we are in the process of the roll out and later this Spring kindergarten students and their families across the City will be able to activate and view their NYC Scholarship Accounts!
As a result, the expansion from ~3500 students per year to ~70K has meant huge amounts of growth for us. One of the new positions we are seeking is a Communications & Design Associate on our Communications Team.
