Family & Community Engagement Manager (Bilingual - Spanish)

KIPP — the largest nonprofit network of college-preparatory, public charter schools in the nation—has demonstrated, at scale, that all children have the potential to excel academically regardless of race or zip code. KIPP Public Schools is a network of 279 schools with more than 16,000 educators and 210,000 students and alumni, including Indianapolis. KIPP Indy Public Schools (KIPP Indy) was founded in 2004 with one class of fifth-grade students and has grown to serve 1,500 students across three schools.

Of the students that attend KIPP Indy, 93% qualify for free and reduced lunch, 95% are African American or LatinX, 12% receive special education services, and 8% are designated as Emerging Bilinguals. As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to create joyful, academically excellent schools in which teachers, students, and families are all united around the same goal of preparing students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose —college, career, and beyond— so they can lead fulfilling lives and create a more just world.

At KIPP Indy Public Schools, we envision a future without limits for every student, where joy and academic excellence come together to empower individuals to pursue their passions—be it college, career, or beyond. We recognize the unique gifts each child brings to our community and strive to cultivate their talent, perspective, and drive. Our schools—KIPP Indy Unite Elementary, KIPP Indy College Prep Middle, and KIPP Indy Legacy High—work collaboratively with families and the community to create a nurturing environment that sparks curiosity and fosters a love for learning.

We are committed to leading with integrity and maintaining high expectations for all, ensuring that every student feels valued and supported in their journey. By providing access to essential resources, including college and career counseling, we prepare our students not just for academic success but for fulfilling lives as engaged citizens. Our values of community, integrity, teamwork, continuous growth, and high expectations guide our efforts to build a more just world.

Together, we empower students to recognize their potential and equip them with the skills and confidence to create vibrant futures for themselves and their communities.
