Who Are We?

The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to provide high quality education to all. We do this through the creation and maintenance of our free-to-use platform, Oppia (https://www.oppia.org), the coordination of our passionate contributors, and the development of critical partnerships with NGOs in the communities we aim to serve.

Where You Fit In

Millions of children are not receiving the education they deserve. Of the 61 million children worldwide who cannot attend primary school, 17 million will never step foot into a school if trends continue. Even children that are able to attend school may not be getting a quality education due to a lack of resources that schools face, which has only gotten worse due to COVID-19. It is important for us to come together to bring Oppia’s free lessons to the children who need them the most, so that they can learn key skills that they will need for their lives.

Our Partnerships Team establishes partnerships in our target markets of sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, and the Middle East. The goal of our team is to introduce partners to the Oppia lessons and make it easy for them to actively use the lessons with students in their area.

We are currently seeking individuals who are passionate about helping underserved children and have an interest in building relationships with organizations that will help further our mission. This role will include conducting outreach to potential partners, researching regions within our target markets for opportunities to help learners, and, most importantly, supporting the needs of our partners. Everyone is welcome to join and be a part of the team, although having some knowledge and experience with one or more of the target markets would be highly beneficial.
