The Role: Are you a visionary leader with a passion for building impactful partnerships? We are seeking a dynamic Head of Partnerships who will play a critical role in driving our mission forward. This is your chance to lead a dedicated team and engage with diverse stakeholders — from educational institutions to corporate partners and government agencies — to create synergies that expand our reach and enhance our programs.

Key Responsibilities:
