Join Us in Transforming Lives: Educate Girls is an award-winning non-profit working to ensure that every girl in India's rural and educationally marginalised communities has access to quality education. In 2025, Educate Girls became the first Indian organisation to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia's highest honour. Since 2007, we have partnered with state governments and local communities to identify out-of-school girls, support their enrolment and retention, and strengthen foundational learning for all children. Our second-chance program also helps adolescent girls and young women complete their Grade 10 and 12 educations while building life skills and agency. With a network of more than 55,000 community volunteers, Educate Girls has enrolled over 20 lakhs girls and improved learning outcomes for over 24 lakh children across 30,000 villages in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. Over the next 10 years, Educate Girls aims to impact 10 million learners by: • Continuing ‘Vidya’, our Back-to-School Program, which identifies out-of-school girls (ages 6-14), supports enrolment and retention in government schools and strengthens foundational learning and life skills. • Scaling up India’s largest second-chance education initiative ‘Pragati’, targeting adolescent girls and young women (ages 15–29) who drop out due to societal barriers & systemic gaps and are now ineligible for formal schooling. Pragati delivers village-based learning camps to build life skills, enhance agency and enable learners to earn their Grade 10 certifications through State Open Schools. • Strengthening open schooling systems in 12 states through Technical Assistance Units (TAUs) in partnership with the government. These units focus on improving access to and the quality of State Open Schools to support learners in the Pragati program. • Together, these programs embody our mission to ensure that every girl is included, educated, and empowered - driving lasting transformation in education and gender equity across India About the role: This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and innovation, working closely with Design Leadership to translate ideas into high-quality, on-ground outcomes.
