Global Village Project

Global Village Project was founded in 2009 as a model for innovative, equitable refugee education. As the only school in the U.S. for refugee girls, we aim to remove the barriers to students’ learning and amplify their voices as creative young leaders. Our full-day academic program serves 40-50 refugee young women from Clarkston, Georgia, and is designed specifically for their needs as English language learners, with trauma-informed practices and restorative justice at its center. We are a team of educators, of lifelong learners, and of people who care deeply about girls’ education, and together we are building a multicultural, multilingual community of students and staff.

As GVP’s Education Coordinator, you will work closely with our team of educators in service of the day-to-day function of the school, leading administrative and logistical tasks with the goal of providing clearly communicated, streamlined, and thoughtful support.

• Assist Director of Education & Programs with communication and administration of federal title money (Title I, Title II, Title III, and Title IV funds)
• Coordinate with Director of Education & Programs and Director of Human Resources to recruit, hire, and communicate with education-related contractors
• Collect, arrange, and distribute education data (e.g. test scores, reading levels, math levels) for teacher interpretation and use
• Manage Jupiter, our online platform for capturing student data (grades, attendance, contact information, etc.)
• Coordinate data reporting and compliance of federal grants RSIG (Refugee School Improvement Grant) and RYMP (Refugee Youth Mentoring Program)
• Coordinate with IT contractor to distribute and support student technology (e.g. iPads and Chromebooks)
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with the education team
• Contribute to a culture that values community, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

ABOUT YOU

• We’re looking for someone who will be excited to work in a small, highly-collaborative team.

• You need to be process oriented and a systems builder.
• You need to bring a lens of cultural humility. We are a team that cares deeply for one another, and that constantly strives to encourage and hold one another accountable to our culture agreements and core values.

Ideal candidates will also have:

• Experience in educational and school settings.
• Interest in building systems, processes, and communicating them clearly to a team.
• An understanding of how logistics and operations make impactful schools possible.
• Passion for empowering and educating refugee young women who face structural barriers to their education.
