About Educational Justice
Educational Justice is a Louisville-based nonprofit on a mission to end educational inequity. We pair 5th–8th grade students with high-achieving high school mentors for long-term, one-on-one tutoring — building academic confidence and social development in underserved communities. We serve the Louisville metro area and select locations in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, with a vision to grow nationally.
The Role

- Analyze qualitative and quantitative data to assess program quality, satisfaction, and outcomes
- Conduct interviews and activity observations with Scholars, Mentors, families, and staff
- Translate findings into practical policy and program improvement recommendations
- Prepare dashboards, visualizations, and written reports for internal and external audiences
- Integrate dashboards, visualizations and other data on EJ platform and website for public accessible
- Submit bi-weekly outcome reports to leadership summarizing trends and recommended actions
- Facilitate quarterly lessons-learned sessions across departments
- Support grant and board reporting with evidence of program impact

- Experience with survey platforms (Smart Sheets, Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, SurveyMonkey, etc.)
- Proficiency in utilizing AI tools for data analysis
- Ability to work minimum 15 hours/week with seasonal flexibility
You'll Stand Out If You Have:
- Experience in education, youth development, tutoring, mentorship, or the nonprofit sector
- Skills in data visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Looker Studio
- Experience with SQL, Python, or R

Preferred Attributes:
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
