Think Equal

Think Equal is a global nonprofit that helps young children learn kindness, empathy and respect for others in their earliest years. It works with governments to bring social-emotional learning into the places where young children already learn, so that these lessons reach large numbers of children and last over time.

This role sits within Think Equal's Meghalaya programme, which works through existing government systems to make the programme practical for frontline workers and sustainable over time.

• Facilitate regular sessions where frontline workers reflect on their work, share what they have learned and solve problems together.
• Support baseline and endline assessments, centre observations, focus group discussions and surveys, including data collection, quality checks, documentation and reporting.
