HBCU Coordinator

About Black Men Teach (BMT)

Black Men Teach is a movement and a mission — building a future where every child has the opportunity to learn from, be led by, and be inspired by a Black male educator. We recruit, prepare, and support Black men to enter and thrive in the classroom, strengthening schools and transforming communities in the process. At BMT, we’re reimagining what it means to teach, lead, and belong.

Our team is bold, innovative, and deeply rooted in purpose. We don’t just talk about change — we design it, build it, and live it every day. Our work is rooted in the belief that representation matters—and that our children’s schooling experience will never be complete without Black male teachers in the classroom.

The HBCU Coordinator serves as Black Men Teach's primary ambassador to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), expanding the organization's educator pipeline through strategic campus engagement, relationship building, and student outreach. This role develops and sustains partnerships with HBCUs, faculty, student organizations, career services, and educator preparation programs while connecting prospective Fellows to opportunities within Black Men Teach.

Reporting to the Recruitment Manager, the HBCU Coordinator leads campus-based engagement efforts that increase awareness of the teaching profession, strengthen relationships across HBCU communities, and cultivate a strong pipeline of future Black male educators.

The ideal candidate is an energetic relationship builder, skilled communicator, and passionate advocate who thrives on college campuses and is committed to expanding educational opportunities for Black men.
