Announced in November 2010, New Haven Promise (NHP) is a visionary scholarship and support program for the purposes of promoting college education as an aspiration for all New Haven public school students, assisting graduating students from New Haven public schools to pursue education after high school and enhancing the growth, stability and economic development of the City of New Haven. NHP is the capstone of the New Haven Public Schools’ nationally recognized education reform initiative—School Change—and has three goals:
NHP is a unique community partnership between the City of New Haven, Yale University (the number one employer in New Haven), Yale-New Haven Hospital (the number two employer in New Haven), Wells Fargo Bank and The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven which houses and administers the program.
As a key pillar of New Haven’s School Change initiative, New Haven Promise is a part of a nationally recognized and heralded reform effort with the goals of eliminating the achievement gap, cutting the dropout rate in half and ensuring that every graduating student has the academic ability and the financial resources to attend and succeed in college. New Haven Promise is poised to become the national model for a successful education reform program with an emphasis on college matriculation and persistence. For more on New Haven School Change, see the New Haven Public Schools website at http://www.nhps.net/schoolchange.

Reporting to the Board of Directors—comprised of Richard Levin, President of Yale University; John DeStefano Jr., Mayor of New Haven; William Ginsberg, President and CEO of The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven; and Dr. Dorsey Kendrick, President of Gateway Community College—the Executive Director will provide the vision and leadership to meet the goals of New Haven Promise and advance the organization as a highly respected and effective voice for college success. The Executive Director will manage an initial team of two, potentially growing to three in the near future.
This is an ideal opportunity for a results-oriented, dynamic leader who is passionate about closing the achievement gap and building a successful college matriculation and persistence model for New Haven and, potentially, the nation at large.
