 Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)

Organization Description: 
Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) creates pathways for students from low-income, low-access backgrounds to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists.


We provide BEAM students the same access to high-quality preparation in STEM as their more affluent peers, and we invest deeply in our students’ success, with programming from middle school through college graduation focused on joyous, exciting, and rigorous mathematics, building vibrant communities, and supporting students in key life transitions such as college admissions and financial aid.


BEAM has grown from a small summer program serving 17 students in the summer of 2011 to a year-round, national program, serving 450+ students at six summer program sites and 600+ students in year-round programming in New York City and Los Angeles this school year. In addition, our BEAM National pilot program now reaches around 1000 elementary-aged students in seven different states, working to create a new nationwide pathway modeled on our local work. We’ve seen our students’ successes first-hand, and it’s backed by data: a quasi-experimental study found that students who attended our 7th grade summer program were 1.3X as likely to declare a STEM major as a matched comparison group.

Position Description:
The BEAM Summer Away Site Director will work collaboratively with other members of the leadership team: the Associate Site Director, Director of Student Life, Director of Academics, and Guidance Counselor, to manage a team of 8-10 counselors, 8-10 faculty members, and 1-4 nurses. You will lead staff training, preparation, implementation, and smooth operation of the summer program, ensuring both academic success and a positive camp environment for our students and our staff. Your leadership will not only shape the classroom experience but also help cultivate a strong community of students and staff, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

School and Community Programs Manager

By Lillian Young • August 13, 2026
Organization Description: As Manhattan’s oldest surviving residence, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, built in 1765, preserves, collects, and interprets history, culture, and the arts to explore inclusive narratives that engage and inspire diverse audiences. One of the nation’s foremost historic house museums, Morris-Jumel Mansion, located in Upper Manhattan, empowers audiences to create relevant contemporary connections to the histories of the Mansion, its collections, the land, and its people, past and present. The Morris-Jumel Mansion has borne witness to much of New York City’s rich and diverse history. Built in 1765 for the Morris family, the original property, located on the ancestral homeland of the Lenape people, comprised fifty modern city blocks. The house would later serve as the headquarters for General George Washington as well as the British military and Hessian troops during the American Revolution. After serving as a tavern for a number of years, Stephen and Eliza Jumel purchased the house in 1810, and embarked on a series of major renovations, reflective of contemporary nineteenth-century tastes. Thanks to the stewardship of the last private owners of the property, Ferdinand and Lillie Earle, the home became a museum in 1904. Position Description: The School & Community Programs Manager leads educational initiatives at Morris-Jumel Mansion, including school, family, and community programs. This public-facing role works closely with the Executive Director to develop and implement creative programming that advances MJM’s mission, increases school and community participation, raises the organization’s visibility, and celebrates the museum’s collection and historical significance. The Manager oversees the full execution of programming for school and community audiences. Responsibilities include targeted outreach to local schools, after-school programs, and community organizations; collaboration with peer historic house institutions; coordination of school tours and family days; and supervision of part-time educators and program volunteers.  Because this role engages directly with diverse audiences, Spanish-language fluency is extremely important. School and community programming at MJM is designed to bring history to life, reach diverse audiences, and support the organization’s mission.
