About Our Turn:
Our Turn recognizes that young people are uniquely positioned to
dismantle the inequitable education system and replace it with
something that truly serves all students. Its mission isn’t merely
about improving education; it’s about championing education
justice.
Education justice, for Our Turn, means students exercising
decision-making power over their own education. It means students
and families driving the conversation about what works best for
them and ensuring that resources support their aspirations. It’s
about student voice becoming the evidence base for educational
reform. It involves the centralization of Black, Indigenous, and
students of color in data, curriculum, culture, communications, and
funding. Our Turn is committed to activating the next generation of
diverse civic leaders through leadership development, grassroots
organizing, and movement building.
The new Chief Executive Officer will join the organization
during an exciting period of growth. In the past year, Our Turn
expanded its reach from 1.7M students to 4.1M students, through
innovative national programming that builds commitment for a youth-
and equity-centered education system. Our Turn’s work has garnered
recognition from influential publications like Teen Vogue, The 74,
and The Los Angeles Times, further solidifying its position as a
trailblazing force in the education justice movement.
Our Turn has built a presence at critical decision-making tables
on issues ranging from statewide assessments to teaching accurate
history, which has led to a greater ability to influence policy and
a stronger pipeline of potential donors.
This role represents an incredible opportunity to catapult Our
Turn into its next chapter. Our Turn is actively seeking a leader
who can strategically advance its youth- and equity-centered impact
while collaboratively guiding the management team, Board of
Directors, staff members, and student leaders. With the right
leader in place, Our Turn is excited to continue its upward
trajectory and explore new avenues for creating lasting change.
Our Turn invites you to join in its mission to fight for
educational justice, nurture and develop young leaders, and amplify
student voices to create a brighter future for all students which
can make a profound impact in the field of education, driving the
change that students deserve. Click here
