We aim to select leaders who:

• Have a track record of leadership in nonprofit schools or organizations successfully impacting students and families not served well by our public education system; 

• Are creative and entrepreneurial, and who think beyond traditional boundaries to forge new pathways personally and in collaboration with others; 

• Are on a journey to understand the effects of their and lived experiences, including aspects of race and privilege, and how their identity shapes their leadership; 

• Hold a breadth of experience and maturity gained from overcoming hardship;

• Are between the ages of 25 and 60, and feel reflection on their leadership and vision for the future is timely;

• Don’t have it all figured out and are oriented towards listening to and learning from others with different perspectives, and can do so with humility, vulnerability, curiosity, and empathy; and,

• Are eager to build relationships and bridge gaps across political lines of difference
