It's not every day that an opportunity like this comes around—to partner with such an incredible team of people whom I have the privilege of calling my Peeps! I may be biased, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a group of Peeps more committed to ensuring no child's circumstance limits their potential than you would at PRACTICE Benefit Corp.
The work we do isn't easy, and neither are the lives of the scholars we serve or the school administrators we support. But it matters. The scholars and families we serve matter. I've always believed that when faced with the choice between doing the easy thing or doing the hard thing, we should choose the hard thing because not many others would. But the people you do find doing the hard work, the kindred spirits, they're special people.
Some companies choose to hire a COO so the CEO can take a step back. You might think that would be the case as I wrap up my 14th year in this seat. Let me be clear: this is not one of those companies or one of those roles. We are looking for a partner who is excited to roll up their sleeves and work hand in hand with me and the rest of our Peeps.
From the very beginning of this journey, I've shared that our purpose could not be achieved by one person. In fact, it would require us to build a community and drive a movement. What we do isn't special, unique, or different, but how we do it is. We are a community of 200+ Peeps who share a common commitment to our purpose and values that go beyond slogans on a wall. We strive for excellence, act entrepreneurially, behave like conscious capitalists, and empower revolutionary change. We are currently working to support 1,000,000 low-income children by 2030.
This isn't a cushy VC-backed company with money to blow "inventing the future." We are a bootstrapped organization operating in the now, building the future. We manage cash prudently and care about profitability as a means for sustainability to do this work over the long term and take care of our Peeps.

If this isn't you or someone you know, I hope you will consider liking the post, adding a comment to show support, or sharing this opportunity with your network to further our purpose of ensuring no child's circumstance limits their potential. 🙏
