Massive thank you to the Podcast Team for making this happen. Our Podcast Leads Maitha, an IB grad at the University of Edinburgh, and Matty, an IB student in the Philippines, have done an incredible job bringing this vision to life. Alysa, an IB student in the US, and Thanh, an IB student in Canada, bring great positivity and chemistry to every episode.
🙌 Executive Director applications are OPEN!
This is a super exciting opportunity to lead a non-profit educational organisation! We are looking for 2 Executive Directors to lead IBlieve. You will strategize for our future and growth and oversee our work providing free tutoring, events, blog articles, and a supportive community, while being an inspiring, kind, and effective leader.
We, Katie and Imogen the Co-Founders, will take the role of Advisors and be there to support you throughout. We have found it incredibly fulfilling to work with this community everyday for almost 2 years now, so are very excited to pass on the baton of these Executive Director roles!
Applicants should ideally be IB graduates (from 2018-2021), or Y2 students who are definitely able to commit to this role during 2022. You should be familiar with IBlieve, through being a current or former team member, tutor, mentor, or active member of the community. You should be able to commit to this role for at least the next calendar year (2022).

🌟 Student Spotlight
We’re inviting new High School Ambassadors or IB graduates to write messages every week, so we can hear more student voices and IB experiences around the world. Today, we’ll hear from Lucas!
Hey Everybody!
I’m Lucas I’m a N22 student about to finish my IBY1, and I’m one of the Reels HSAs.
I just wanted to remind you, YOU GOT THIS! Although the IB may seem challenging, it does get easier along the way. It’s ok to be struggling with your grades, the IB involves a process and by working hard, believing in yourself and not putting much pressure on yourself, you will succeed. Good results take time!
Remember, IBlieve’s always ready to help you with any concern you’ve got.
