Regional Program Manager - locations

Civics Learning Project (CLP) is seeking three Regional Program Managers (RPMs) to join our team, one in each of three locations across Oregon. As civics education becomes increasingly recognized as essential to a thriving democracy, CLP adopted an ambitious strategic plan to deepen our impact and engagement with civic leaders and organizations across the state.

Our ideal candidates will bring prior experience with classroom teaching, experiential learning, community organizing, movement building, and a knowledge of civic institutions in your region. They will use their experience and relationships to implement pilot programs in which community organizations and leaders build opportunities with schools to engage students in experiential, project-based and place-based learning. Ideal candidates will already have strong ties to their region’s education and civic landscape—especially schools and school districts—and will know how to motivate local leaders to collaborate with schools and teachers to create hands‑on opportunities in which students learn how they are connected to and can positively impact their communities.

Moving beyond traditional program maintenance, you will act as a civic and educational connector, fostering robust partnerships between civics teachers, students, and community leaders. The content and specific activities of the pilot program will be community-driven, ensuring they are relevant to local issues and leverage local resources. You will connect classrooms with their communities, facilitating experiential learning opportunities that are shaped by local issues and ensure that civics education serves as a unifying force for your region.

Build Non-Partisan Ecosystems: Ground civics education in local communities by recruiting local leaders to engage students and support teachers. Facilitate community leaders, policymakers, and legal professionals to serve as content experts and volunteers.

Regional Representation: Serve as the "face" of CLP in the region, representing the organization at public events and within regional civic organizations. This includes delivering presentations, facilitating workshops, and providing community visibility.

Stakeholder Communication: Draft and distribute engaging regional e-newsletters to share program updates and opportunities with educators, volunteers, and partners.

Launch & Manage Pilots: Lead the implementation and facilitation of a regional pilot program that tests community-rooted methods of teacher‑student‑community collaboration.

Resource Development: Collaborate with educators and CLP's Director of Education to identify effective teaching tools and curate the best local practices for potential iteration across the state.

Data-Driven Refinement: Create, collect and track program evaluations and participant feedback, entering relevant data into CLP’s CRM to support continuous improvement and organizational learning.

Event Facilitation: Coordinate and grow student-centered programming in the region, including tours and conferences that bring students together to explore legal, civic, and political issues alongside community leaders.

Needs-Based Program Design & Implementation: Based upon the needs of the region, in collaboration with CLP’s Education Team, design and implement programming to further student-centered learning via experiential civic engagement (e.g., Community Action Projects, Mock Trial, Courthouse Tours, etc.).

Resource Development: Facilitate regional cohorts of civics teachers as they implement CLP teacher training and other components of SB 513.

Experiential Learning: Facilitate and support teacher and school implementation of CLP's evidence-based programs tailored to regional school contexts.

Direct Support: Provide direct support to teachers, including in-classroom assistance, volunteer matching, and curricular consultations.
