SchoolHouse Connection, a fast-paced, results-oriented national nonprofit organization working to overcome homelessness through education, is seeking a Policy and Outreach Manager to advance our federal policy agenda. 

This position is an opportunity to mobilize, equip, and inspire SHC’s network, as well as new stakeholders, to take action on holistic solutions to child, youth, and family homelessness, rooted in the realities of local communities.

This is a full-time, salaried position with generous benefits. The Policy and Outreach Manager will work remotely, as do all of SHC’s employees. However, regular in-person meetings in Washington, DC are required. For that reason, only applicants living in, or willing to relocate to, the DC Metro area will be considered. SchoolHouse Connection is committed to developing a diverse and dynamic team and welcomes applications from people of color, individuals with disabilities, and LGBT+ individuals.
