The Board of Engineers (BoE) is a passionate group of volunteers that supports Blue Engine’s mission and work through program-related initiatives, and fundraising and awareness-building campaigns. Committed to facilitating in-classroom instruction that taps the infinite potential of all students, board members give of their time, expertise and resources to ensure the sustainability of Blue Engine’s team teaching model. Each year (July 1st - June 30th), the board develops and executes an exciting calendar of events and campaigns.
The BoE seeks energetic recruits to bring committee activities to life! The board employs three committees to support Blue Engine's work in classrooms:
- Program Initiatives Committee - plans a series of professional development and networking activites for Blue Engine teaching apprentices.
- Fundraising Committee - plans fund/friend-raising events to expand Blue Engine's supporter network and build greater brand awareness.
- Corporate Engagement Committee - develops relationships with potential corporate funders and conceptualizes engagement touch points for current funders.
Committee members also work toward an individual fundraising goal of $1,300: the per student cost of Blue Engine's work in classrooms.

Mission Statement
Blue Engine is a New York based non-profit that partners with schools to unlock human potential. We bring together teams of teachers working in historically oppressed communities to reimagine the classroom experience for all students, resulting in dramatic gains in academic achievement and diverse groups of apprentice teachers prepared for success in the classroom.
Description
Blue Engine's team teaching model re-architects the traditional classroom by shifting the teacher-to-student ratio from 1:30 to 1:6 in gateway skills subjects. This model embeds teams of three apprentice educators into one classroom, resulting in dramatic gains in student achievement and a pipeline of effective, culturally responsive teachers.
Harnessing the power of teamwork, we recruit and develop individuals interested in exploring teaching to serve as Blue Engine Teaching Apprentices (BETAs) for one to two years. Alongside lead teachers, BETAs collaborate to provide personalized learning for students while gaining hands-on classroom experience. Many of our organization's staff members are former teachers and nonprofit leaders. All of us believe that impact is possible and necessary in public schools.
Our team is dynamic, diverse, and deeply committed to increasing postsecondary achievement in the communities we serve. In pursuit of this mission, we hold our colleagues and ourselves accountable to high performance standards and clear, measurable results. We value perseverance, self-awareness, collaboration, the ability to connect and empathize, open and honest communication, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking. Personal and professional development is a top organizational priority.
