EFA Program

The Education Finance Analyst Program (EFA Program) is a collaborative effort between charter school finance leaders to recruit and train early-stage professionals to succeed in mission-driven financial services roles. Each participant will serve in a full-time, salaried role as an Investment Analyst at a sponsor organization in support of critical work undertaken by these leading partners in the sector. The EFA Program is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages diverse candidates to apply. The Mission: Through this two-year program, Fellows address the financial and real estate challenges facing public charter schools as they continue to promote educational equity. The Training: Fellows will serve in full-time roles as Investment Analysts in support of critical work undertaken by sector leaders such as Afton Partners, Civic Builders, and Equitable Facilities Fund. This fellowship will be supported by an initial five-week joint training program designed to foster mission-alignment, understanding of the education sector, development of technical skills, and followed by continued professional development. What Comes Next: After the two-year program, Fellows may be eligible for continued employment or may go on to take roles with mission-oriented investment firms, lenders, banks, consultants, charter schools, and other organizations committed to leveraging finance for social good. The EFA Program will equip them with skills that enable fulfilling, high-impact careers. If you are interested in learning more, please email us at info@efaprogram.org.
