Educate! East

Africa has the world’s youngest and fastest‑growing population. By 2035, the continent is poised to contribute more young people to the global workforce each year than the rest of the world combined.

At Educate! we are obsessed with impact. We leverage iterative learning to build highly scalable youth employment solutions aimed at unlocking the potential of the world’s youngest continent.

Educate! prepares youth in Africa to learn, earn and thrive in today’s economy by:

• Introducing an employment‑focused school subject into secondary education
• Delivering livelihood boot camps for out‑of‑school youth, with a focus on marginalized rural girls and young women

To date, more than 500,000 youth have been meaningfully impacted across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania, and along the way, Educate! has become the largest youth employment and skills provider in East Africa.

We are a team of over 300 largely African staff and 300 volunteer youth mentors. We prioritize building an engaging, fulfilling and growth‑oriented work environment. 50% of our top 30 leaders have been with us for over 5 years, 10+ alumni have started their own organizations, and 6 current or former team members were Acumen Fund East Africa fellows.

Educate!'s long‑term vision is to design solutions that measurably impact millions of youth across Africa each year.

We know that incredible candidates sometimes hesitate to apply if they don’t meet every requirement. If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply!

We’re looking for passionate individuals who believe in our mission and can bring unique perspectives to our team—not just those who check every box. We value diversity and strongly encourage women and individuals from all backgrounds to apply.

At Educate! we’re obsessed with impact. We leverage iterative learning to build cost‑effective, scalable youth employment solutions aimed at unlocking the potential of the world’s youngest continent – and great people are at the heart of it.
