ROLE SUMMARY
The Legacy Fellowship is an elite, two-year incubator designed for visionary school founders committed to transforming the educational landscape of Colorado. This fellowship recognizes that creating a "trajectory-changing" school requires more than just a good idea; it requires a specialized set of skills in leadership, finance, curriculum design, and community engagement. By providing a generous $125,000 annual salary for two years, the program allows Fellows to step away from their current roles and dedicate their full energy to the rigorous work of launching a high-quality, single-site charter school.
Throughout the fellowship, participants transition from the "dreaming" phase to the "doing" phase, receiving the training and coaching necessary to navigate Colorado's unique charter landscape. The ultimate goal of the Legacy Fellowship is to ensure that when the school's doors finally open, the founder has built a sustainable, high-performing institution that provides students with an education of the highest caliber. This is a rare opportunity for transformative leaders to turn their passion for equity and excellence into a brick-and-mortar reality for the children and families of Colorado.
