Head of Programs

JD for Head of Programs at Involve Learning Solutions Foundation At Involve , we’re on a mission to bring students to the center of their own learning journeys. We believe that when students are trusted, supported, and given space to lead, they don’t just learn better they thrive. We started back in 2018 when our founders, Divanshu and Samyak , both fresh out of IIT Madras, chose to skip placements and instead build something that mattered. They envisioned classrooms where students weren’t just passive listeners, but active participants—teaching, mentoring, leading, and growing together. Today, that vision is alive and growing, and we are working with government schools in six Indian states. Our core program, Peer Teaching , trains senior students to mentor their juniors in foundational skills like reading and math. But it’s about more than academics, it’s about building confidence, communication, problem-solving, and agency. Because we believe agency is the key to breaking cycles of inequality and helping young people truly own their futures. Over the next 5 years we look forward to creating impact for 10 million children across the length and breadth of India! We work hand in hand with state and district governments across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Karnataka. We are supported by partners such as the Agency Fund and Wells Fargo. Our work has also been featured in the Economic Survey of India, and we are recipients of the Don Norman Design Award (DNDA), recognising our approach to designing for impact at scale. Along the way, our work has been acknowledged by platforms like HundrED and Reimagine Education. Our co-founder Divanshu has also shared Involve’s journey and learnings through a TEDx talk, which you can watch here: Need for Students Agency in Today's World | Divanshu Kumar | TEDxIITGuwahati But honestly, what keeps us going is our students. The girl who ran her first peer-led session with shaky hands and a steady voice. The boy who found his voice helping his classmates. The thousands of stories that remind us every day why this work matters. Role Overview Build the future of student leadership in India's government schools. This role will ask you to shape how student leadership can become an integral part of government school systems across India. At Involve, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to lead. For over a decade, we have worked with schools to build student agency, leadership, and life skills through a model that has reached 1 million students. Our next chapter is bigger! We are partnering more deeply with government systems, strengthening implementation at scale, and building an organisation that can influence how leadership education reaches millions of children. We are looking for someone who wants to help build that future. While you will be responsible for ensuring excellent program delivery, your larger mandate is to build systems, develop leaders, strengthen government partnerships,…
