This position will build relationships and awareness of the program in targeted neighborhoods via outreach and marketing, recruit a targeted number of participants and implement workshop lessons for groups of parents/caregivers and their children. As an AmeriCorps member, the selected individual will collaborate with librarians, business owners, the public, and administrators to establish positive connections with students and their families; assist in evaluating and refining the Raising Little Learners program; create marketing materials; and perform other related work as necessary.
