Bookkeeper

Description:

The New York City Charter School Center is a non-profit organization established in 2004 by several leading foundations to foster the charter school movement in NYC. The New York City Charter School Center envisions a future in which all of New York’s students have access to a first-rate public education so that, no matter their background, they can participate in society on fair terms.

The New York City Charter School Center works for that future by supporting charter schools at every stage. We help new Charter Schools get started, support existing schools, build community support, and train new leaders so that highly effective schools can flourish. These schools, in turn, show us what is possible in public education. Additional background information can be found at www.nycCharterSchools.org
