Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

About Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

Founded by Dr. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a new kind of philanthropy that's leveraging technology to help solve some of the world's toughest challenges – from eradicating disease, to improving education, to reforming the criminal justice system. Across three core Initiative focus areas of Science, Education and Justice and Opportunity, we're pairing engineering with grantmaking, impact investing, policy work, and movement building, to help build an inclusive, just and healthy future for everyone. ------ Our Values ---------- We believe we can help build a future for everyone. We aim to be daring, but humble: We look for bold ideas — regardless of structure and stage — and help them scale by pairing engineers with subject matter experts to build tools that accelerate the pace of social progress. We want to learn fast, but build for the long-term: We want to iterate fast and help bring new solutions to the table, but we also realize that important breakthroughs often take decades, or even centuries. Stay close to the real problems: We engage directly in the communities we serve because no one understands our society's challenges like those who live them every day. Our success is dependent on building teams that include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we look for a diverse pool of applicants including those from historically marginalized groups — women, people with disabilities, people of color, formerly incarcerated people, people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or gender nonconforming, first and second generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. ------ The Opportunity --------------- Our Education team brings together a diverse set of technologists, grantmakers, strategists and former teachers. Our north star is to enable every young person—not just the lucky few—to enter adulthood with the knowledge, skills, habits and agency to contribute to and thrive in a changing world. CZI's education team supports projects meaningfully using the science of learning and human development to improve learning experiences for students like: the Summit Learning Program, a personalized approach to teaching and learning that enhances the quality of student-teacher interactions and empowers educators to tailor instruction to individual student needs; Village of Wisdom, an assessment organization seeking to help educators, families and students evaluate the cultural responsiveness of learning environments; and Neuroteach Global, a professional development tool training teachers on how to apply the latest scientific discovery on how students learn into their classroom practice.
