JESSE DURKIN
Executive Director, Programs
Think Together
As executive director of programs for Think Together, Jesse Durkin leads a $20 million regional operation serving eight school districts. Durkin oversees a team of over 500 educators who deliver high-quality afterschool programs across 67 school sites, supporting more than 4,000 students. His leadership has been instrumental in expanding program impact and ensuring students receive the academic and enrichment support they need to thrive.
In Fall 2023, Durkin collaborated with the organization’s program design team and South Whittier School District to help launch Think Together’s first-ever “High Dosage Tutoring” program. This program aligns with grade-level standards, aiming to accelerate student learning by as much as a year and a half for every four months that students are part of it.
