Job DescriptionDescription:Who We Are Zero Dropouts is dedicated to designing innovative student development opportunities in collaboration with school districts, communities, and students. Our mission is to co-create solutions that recognize, foster, and unleash students’ unrealized potential so that their lives are transformed as they thrive in their education and work. Next GED+ Online is designed to serve highly mobile students and those who face barriers to in-person learning. Highly mobile students include those who frequently move due to housing instability, foster care placement, or family circumstances, as well as students experiencing homelessness, justice engagement, or mental and physical health challenges that make traditional schooling inaccessible. Many of our students balance work, caregiving responsibilities, or other commitments that require a more flexible educational model. Unlike traditional online programs that can be isolating and entirely self-paced, Next GED+ Online is built to foster community and connection. Through a combination of flexible and personalized learning plans, live instruction, and ongoing support, students engage with teachers, peers, and mentors in meaningful ways. Our relationship-based approach ensures that students receive the academic and personal support they need to persist, complete their education, and transition successfully to postsecondary opportunities.

Our innovative approach drives us to uncover hidden truths and create tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of our clients and communities.

We Believe in a Sociocultural Model for Learning People develop knowledge and skills through an active learning process that encourages interactions with teachers, peers, and their communities. We meet people where they are in their learning journeys, centering their experiences and identities in the process to foster both independent learning and collaboration. We Believe in a ‘Power With’ Approach to Relationships We use a ‘power with’ approach that emphasizes collaboration, mutual support, and collective empowerment in our relationships with youth, partners, and each other. Instead of hierarchical or competitive dynamics, it focuses on sharing power, fostering partnerships, and working together to achieve common goals.

This perspective emphasizes interdependence and collaboration, fostering resilience and adaptability. By nurturing supportive relationships and collective growth, we create conditions and environments where all members can thrive.
