Description
Who We Are
KIPP SoCal Public Schools is a nonprofit organization that operates 20 tuition-free, open-enrollment charter public schools, within 17 Local Education Agencies (LEA), educating more than 10,000 students and supporting 8,300 alumni to and through college and beyond. Our award winning schools are part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, dedicated to meeting the needs of all learners and providing the social, emotional and academic support for success in high school, college, and life.
Mission
Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose—college, career and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and create a more just world.
What We Do
At KIPP SoCal we build trusting relationships that are strengthened by high expectations and collaboration alongside laughter and joy. We set ambitious goals and hold each other accountable for students achieving their greatest potential. We work together with each other and in partnership with families and communities in the active pursuit of a more equitable world. We do the right thing, even when it's not always comfortable standing up and speaking out against anti-blackness, racism, oppression, and injustice. We persevere through obstacles and treat failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.
The Opportunity
The The Events Manager leads a diverse portfolio of high-profile events, ranging from large-scale gatherings of 1,500+ attendees to training, leadership, and other specialized events. These events advance KIPP SoCal Public Schools’ goals and create exceptional experiences for team members, partners, and other key audiences.
This is a manager-level individual contributor role for an experienced event professional who independently leads complex work from strategy through execution. We are looking for candidates who bring a strong attention to detail, a commitment to inclusivity, and a deep understanding of stakeholder needs to every event. The Events Manager is a skilled executor who takes pride in upholding KIPP SoCal's signature traditions and contributing to a strong organizational culture. Join us!
