New opportunity allows KIPP Atlanta alumni to help shape the future of the organization.

 

ATLANTA, GA (November 10, 2026) — KIPP Atlanta Schools is excited to announce a new opportunity for alumni to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the organization. For the first time, a KIPP Atlanta alum will have the opportunity to serve as a full, voting member of the KIPP Atlanta Schools Board of Directors.

This milestone follows a revision to the Board’s bylaws, creating a dedicated seat for an eligible alum to contribute directly to the governance, strategic direction, and continued growth of KIPP Atlanta Schools.

As the organization advances its vision for educational excellence and expanded opportunities for scholars and families, this initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring that the perspectives and experiences of KIPP Atlanta alumni help inform its future.

KIPP Atlanta Schools invites eligible alumni who are passionate about educational opportunity, leadership, and the continued success of the region to apply for this historic opportunity.

About the Alumni Board Member Opportunity

The selected alum will serve a three year term as a full, voting member of the KIPP Atlanta Schools Board of Directors, with the same responsibilities and expectations as all other board members.

This is a governance position rather than a spokesperson or alumni representative role. The selected individual will contribute to organizational oversight, strategic planning, and decisions that support the long term success of KIPP Atlanta Schools.

Responsibilities include attending board meetings and events in person throughout Metro Atlanta, serving on a board committee, maintaining confidentiality, and making a personally meaningful annual contribution to the organization.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Graduated from KIPP Atlanta Collegiate or completed eighth grade at a KIPP Atlanta school.
2. Attended a KIPP Atlanta school for at least three years.
3. Currently reside in the Metro Atlanta area.
4. Have at least four years of professional work experience.
5. Have completed a higher education degree, technical certification, or trade apprenticeship.

Applications Now Open

KIPP Atlanta Schools encourages eligible alumni to take advantage of this opportunity to contribute their knowledge, experiences, and leadership to the future of the organization.

Application Deadline: Friday, December 4, 2026
