Job Description

A brief about us :) At Involve , were 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 dont just learn betterthey 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 werent just passive listeners, but active participantsteaching, mentoring, leading, and growing together. Today, that vision is alive and growing. Weve worked with almost 1 million students across 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 its about more than academicsits 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 in places like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Karnataka. Weve been lucky to be backed by incredible partners like the Agency Fund, Acumen, Central Square Foundation, and Wells Fargo. And along the way, weve been recognized by platforms like HundrED and Reimagine Education for doing things differentlyand effectively. 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. Who We're Looking For Were building a team of people who caredeeply.
