Healthcare Coordinator

Our Team

Who we are: KIPP Minnesota is a network of high-performing public charter schools in North Minneapolis and part of a nationwide movement that began over 25 years ago. Next year, we will teach over 700 students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade at four schools in North Minneapolis. KIPP Minnesota is as a community of game-changing educators who are leading the way in providing a high-quality education to all students.

What we do: We hire outstanding educators, maximize time in school learning, build a strong culture of achievement, and provide years of support to our alumni from KIPP Through College & Career advisors so that every one of our students has the opportunity to attend college and has access to a life of choice and opportunity. We continually engage in courageous conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion to create new and equitable systems for our students, their families, and our staff. We do not shy away from discussing local and national issues that impact our students and their families.

How we do it: We build partnerships between our families, staff, and community organizations. We work as a team, use data, and constantly reflect to improve our practice. We prioritize and invest in professional development for all of our staff, from on-going coaching, endless opportunities for collaboration, and weekly half-days for school-wide trainings to national conferences and retreats. We work hard to take care of ourselves with quarterly Wellness Wednesdays (a free afternoon off!) and a school calendar designed to maximize sustainability.

Why it matters: In our community, approximately 1 in 10 students earn a college degree. We believe that this is unjust and unacceptable and, most importantly, can be changed. Nationwide, over 85% of KIPP middle school alumni matriculate to college.
