OUR TEAM

Maxwell Akuamoah-Boateng

Max serves as the Director of Operations for Community Schools in the Mayor’s Office of Education in Philadelphia overseeing the planning, alignment, and integration of services systemwide across all schools. He began his career as a teacher in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and went on to hold various roles in the District. Max contributed to the development of the framework for launching and managing the first 60 Community Schools in HISD with the mission of Every Community Every School, a comprehensive initiative to connect students to non-academic supports needed to improve their well-being and academic achievement. He holds the belief that by cross-sector partners collectively providing our children and their families with effective barrier-reducing services in tandem with strong academic experiences, we can truly meet the needs of the whole-child and graduate students who are college and career-ready.
