Now Hiring: Summer Professional Learning Support Intern (North Carolina)

Employment Date: June 1 – July 31, 2026

We will review applications on a rolling basis with deadlines of March 13 and March 30

Public Impact® is a national education management consulting firm based in Chapel Hill, N.C. Our mission is to improve education dramatically for all students, especially students whose needs have not yet been well met. We collaborate with teachers and school and system leaders to implement changes that will help the students they serve, and believe that if we focus on a core set of promising strategies for change, we and our partners and clients can make bold improvements for all students, with long-term financial sustainability and success.

Toward that end, we:

• Extend the reach of excellent teaching to all students, through Opportunity Culture^® School Design, an initiative to redesign staffing, pay and instruction for higher-growth learning and educator satisfaction. Multiple third-party studies have shown that students supported by Multi-Classroom Leader^® educators (an Opportunity Culture role) add an extra half year of learning annually, on average. Teachers in these schools are about twice as likely to recommend teaching compared to other teachers nationally, and teacher turnover and vacancies have declined in studied schools. Schools in seventeen states and Washington, D.C. now have Opportunity Culture schools.
• Use data, research, and curious problem-solving to create and spread high-impact innovations and solutions for education policy and management challenges.
