Director of Development

The Edward W. Brooke Charter School is a K-8 charter school, whose mission is to prepare students to attend and succeed in college.   We are committed to closing the achievement gap in our country among low-income and minority students and believe that we can close that gap by cultivating powerful and effective teaching.  We are committed to building schools where every element of the program is designed to ensure that great teaching can flourish.

Founded in 2002, and located in Boston’s Roslindale neighborhood, the Brooke school serves approximately 450 students in grades K-8.  Our students are predominantly minority (96% black and Latino) and low-income (72% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).  For the past 4 years, Brooke students have consistently ranked among the top achieving students in the city and the state on the state-administered MCAS tests in reading and math and our graduates have gone on to attend highly-selective, college-preparatory private and public high schools, often with full academic scholarships.

The Brooke School is seeking a full-time Director of Development.  The Director of Development is a key member of the school’s leadership team and is directly responsible for planning, leading, and coordinating all external relationships.  First and foremost, this means that the Director of Development must have a clear and well-informed understanding and vision of the school’s message and approach.  With that understanding firmly in hand, the Director of Development coordinates marketing, fundraising, advocacy, and board work.
