Position Overview

Amigos de Guadalupe is seeking a full-time Education Coordinator.

The Education Coordinator must understand the challenges facing highly impacted communities of color, where access and resources are limited and the opportunity gap is significant. Working collaboratively with the Education Manager and other assigned staff, the Coordinator helps establish and achieve the goals of all education programs, including After School, Summer School, and Scholarship Programs.

- The After School Program serves similar grade levels, offering support at multiple sites, including locations where families in transition are housed.

The Education Coordinator may also plan, initiate, and implement new education programs, in partnership with the Education Manager, to support student academic success. All programs aim to address systemic inequities and opportunity gaps in education.

The Coordinator is expected to be (or become) familiar with California Common Core Standards, including those related to social-emotional learning, and to embrace both the 2-Gen approach to family services and Amigos’ philosophy of Radical Hospitality in working with students and families.
