Are you passionate about education? Would you like to work for an organization that is committed to ensuring that every student graduates college and work ready in the state of Washington? Then look no further than this opportunity with Partnership for Learning, located in downtown Seattle.
Partnership for Learning (PFL) was formed in 1994 to communicate about the need to prepare all students for college and work. As a 501c3 nonprofit, PFL provides compelling policy analysis, builds and leads advocacy coalitions, and engages a far-reaching network of business, education and community leaders to deliver high-quality communications and advocacy.
