Program Associate - Communications

Why do we exist? What do we do?

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.

We run free and high-impact schools and an exceptional college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai. We are known for our world-class professional development, our result-oriented team culture, and our student-centric school design. Read more about us at

Responsibilities

Our students are mostly first-generation college-goers who deserve holistic support to thrive in college and crack their first sustainable job. Towards this vision, we provide 360-degree support to 2000 student alumni through a strong team of 20 staff members. iTeach C2C is known for its stellar results, aspiring professional development, exciting leadership opportunities, and nurturing work culture.

Within the C2C team, four sub-verticals work: The admissions Team, the Careers Team, the Engagement Team, and the Lifeguarding team. The Communication Associate's role is crucial in streamlining communication across all four sub-verticals of C2C to the alumni, designing and executing branding and marketing strategies for C2C programs, and ensuring all these programs effectively reach the student community
