We strongly encourage Black, Indigenous, people of color, members of the LGTBQIA2S+ community, as well as members of underrepresented groups, people with seen and unseen disabilities, and people of all ages – to apply.

Why Work with Us

  • Purpose meets service
    We support adult learners across Washington, DC — those finishing high school credentials, advancing their careers, improving literacy, transitioning to college, or acquiring workforce skills. Our mission: changing lives and transforming communities.
  • Learner-centered culture
    Our work is rooted in respect, support, and empowerment. We remove barriers — whether social, economic, educational — and create environments where people can show up as their full selves and grow.
  • Diverse, equitable, inclusive
    We know that diversity is strength. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences — especially those underrepresented in education leadership — because our work demands many perspectives and voices.
  • Professional growth & impact
    At AoH you’ll find opportunities to learn, lead, and innovate. Our staff support teams, student-services, workforce training, and academic programs all invite collaboration, continuous improvement, and direct impact.
