At EdRedesign, we work each year with Harvard doctoral student fellows, research assistants, and interns, producing dozens of graduates that are pursuing careers within the cradle-to-career place-based partnership field with national intermediaries, backbone organizations, place-based partnerships, governmental agencies, and community-based organizations. Check this page for available student positions in research, data analysis, communications, nonprofit management, and other areas of our work, including By All Means and Success Planning.
Working with EdRedesign for two years was invaluable to my career development. When I started, I had a general interest in comprehensive, integrated services as a way to promote economic mobility and equitable outcomes for children and families. EdRedesign was my entry point to the growing field of place-based, cradle-to-career partnerships. As a Research Assistant, I learned about different models for place-based work, met inspiring practitioners and thought leaders, and was offered an opportunity to serve as a Teaching Fellow for a related Harvard class. My mentors at EdRedesign cared about my development and were always generous with their career guidance, connecting me to summer internship and full-time roles. Now, I have a completely new vocabulary to describe my career interests and an expanding network in the field.
