Work With Us

At Why Not You Academy, we are reimagining what a free, high-quality, public education can look like when built on a foundation of deeper learning, strong mentorship, and individualized pathways.

We are looking for mission-driven professionals deeply committed to preparing students for success in college and career, and rooted in our core values of achievement, community, and empowerment.

If you are looking to work in a small, intentionally diverse community where every student and family is known, seen, and valued, we would love to talk to you.

Our unique approach requires a team of teachers, staff, mentors, and volunteers working together to put our students’ needs first.

“I choose to work at WNYA because of our community and our amazing scholars. We are small, but mighty! Our scholars challenge us to be better and go harder for them, every single day. Founding Graduating Class of 2025, here we come!”

— Umi Mohamed, WNY Academy Director of Operations
