Join Our Team

Challenge Success is a non-profit school reform organization affiliated with the Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education that works to improve K-12 student well-being, engagement, and belonging through our School Program, Research and Surveys, and Workshops. Our unique approach is grounded in research about effective education and healthy child and adolescent development, engages and educates all stakeholders in the school community, and focuses on elevating the voice and perspective of all students. While many other organizations address student needs after problems arise, we offer upstream solutions that help to create systems within schools where students are engaged, healthy, and thriving. 

Challenge Success is led by a small, multidisciplinary team of educators, researchers, mental health professionals, and youth development experts. 

Challenge Success partners with school communities to elevate student voice and implement research-based, equity-centered strategies that improve student well-being, belonging, and engagement.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

Challenge Success is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Studies have shown that historically underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for positions unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in a job description. Our top priority is finding the best candidate to meet the current needs of the organization. If you are interested in a position, we encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet each one of the qualifications outlined.
