Regional Program Manager - 3 locations in OR

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.
