2026 Education Partnerships Fellowship (Foundation for a College Education - Math Instructor)
The Education Partnerships Program at the Haas Center for Public Service is seeking six undergraduates to join our EdP Fellowship summer cohort, which focuses on mitigating summer learning loss in partnership with Menlo-Atherton High School. This is a stipend-based program that averages 35 hours per week over 9.5 weeks.
The Education Partnerships (EdP) program promotes educational equity in our local communities by engaging Stanford students and community youth in tutoring, mentoring, and education-focused partnerships. We believe that to make a lasting impact, we must work across the education ecosystem—from direct service with youth to collaboration with schools, nonprofits, policymakers, and philanthropists.
The EdP Summer Fellows Cohort will meet weekly to explore the intersectional nature of education—how different fields overlap and become more powerful when collaboration systems are in place. The fellowship offers professional development in youth development, leadership, facilitation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and teaching.
Program Description*
The Foundation for a College Education (FCE) is a college-access and success nonprofit serving first-generation, low-income students of color from East Palo Alto and surrounding communities. Since 1995, FCE has worked to ensure students not only enroll in college, but persist and graduate. Learn more about FCE’s mission, programs, and impact at https://collegefoundation.org/.
This summer, FCE will host a six-week Summer Math Program designed to strengthen foundational math skills and increase readiness for rigorous high school coursework and long-term college success. Through diagnostic assessments, small-group instruction, and individualized tutoring, the program addresses math learning gaps early—helping students build both competence and confidence.
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Loves math and enjoys teaching
- Is interested in curriculum design and data-informed instruction
- Can customize learning plans for students with skill gaps
- Is passionate about education equity and expanding college access
The Summer Math Program complements FCE’s broader work across tutoring, family and CLEAR (Career Exploration & Readiness), Scholarships, and Parent Engagement programming. By strengthening math foundations early, this program supports FCE’s long-standing commitment to college readiness, persistence, and degree completion.
