Site Leader

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 Site Leader serves as the primary facilitator, mentor, and community leader for a cohort of Black Men Teach Fellows. This role creates engaging, culturally affirming learning experiences that foster belonging, leadership development, educator identity, academic success, and personal growth.

Reporting to the Director, Secondary Programs & Educator Pathways, the Site Leader facilitates weekly programming, monitors Fellow engagement and academic progress, partners with families and schools, and cultivates a culture of accountability, brotherhood, joy, and excellence. Site Leaders are often the most consistent and influential adult relationship within a Fellow's Black Men Teach experience.
