About the job Communications Manager - Bangalore

A brief about us :)

Involve is an organization that strives to reimagine education through enabling increased participation of children in the decisions around learning. Through this it seeks to unlock the agency of children to enable them to lead thriving lives of their choice. Involve was founded by IIT Madras Graduates, Divanshu & Samyak, who left their placements to build their dream. Today we are a stellar team of >65 members from diverse backgrounds (TFI, Gandhi Fellowship, APU) and skills, supported by experienced advisors, to provide choice, ownership and skills to our students.

Today Involves work reaches half-a-million children across 6 states both directly and through partnerships with governments and organizations. We currently have direct programs in Karnataka (Bengaluru, Chikballapur, Koppal), Uttar Pradesh (Sambhal, Varanasi), Bihar (Bhagalpur, Banka) and programs with our partners in Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Through our programs like peer learning, entrepreneurial thinking, inquiry based learning for STEM, we have seen improvements in student learning outcomes of foundational literacy and numeracy, in attitudes towards learning among students (eg. how curious students are in their science classrooms) and in student skills like confidence, communication, ownership and problem solving. We’ve also seen students transform and emerge as leaders within their classrooms, schools and communities. Through our work with teachers and educational leadership within the government we’ve seen changes in their attitudes to inclusion of students in decision making and seen them become more comfortable giving more agency to students in classrooms to create and design their own learning experiences.

For this work, we are backed by some prominent institutions like Wells Fargo, TFIx, The Agency Fund, to name a few. Read more about us at Deccan Herald, The Logical Indian, YourStory & The Better India.
