    Descrição

    About the organization:

    The Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence (MFEE) provides resources for educators, schools, and students and brings new ideas and critical support to Montclair Public Schools. Through our Navegadores Escolares program we provide direct support to families of multilingual learners who speak Spanish or Portuguese and advocate for system improvements. The program currently includes over 80 families, over 100 children, and more than 50 volunteers. We also provide technical assistance to local and regional organizations.

    About the position:

    • Help design and facilitate workshops for families.
    • Collaborate with other MFEE staff, volunteers, schools, families, and community partners to identify systemic issues and develop solutions.
    • Manage the day-to-day operations of the program, including:
      • Maintain program data and participant records and forms.
      • Develop and execute project plans.
      • Triage and prioritize issues and tasks as they arise.

    Requirements:

    • Ability and sensitivity to work with newcomer families
    • 2-4 years of experience working with families, youth, or in a community services setting.
