Save the Children For over 100 years, Save the Children has been fighting for the rights of children. The right to a healthy start in life. To have access to education. To be in a safe environment, protected from harm. We work in some of the world's hardest-to-reach places - over 100 countries, including the U.S. No matter what your role is, when you join Save the Children, you're creating positive, irreversible change for children, and the future we all share. The Role As the Lead Associate, Education in Emergencies (EiE), you'll be integral to our work in helping protect vulnerable children in crisis. You will support emergency response initiatives that restore and strengthen childcare services, stabilizing communities and ensuring children's learning continues before, during, and after emergencies.

By equipping partners with the tools, training, and relationships they need to succeed, you will help cultivate a well-prepared early learning workforce capable of navigating disruptions and supporting sustained recovery.
