Support for young parents

No Barriers Education is a nonprofit dedicated to helping students overcome barriers to education and pursue their goals. We provide free resources, guidance, mentorship, and support to help students navigate their educational and career pathways, regardless of their circumstances or background.

We are looking for a passionate volunteer to lead our Student Parents section as part of a larger initiative focused on providing tailored resources and support to students facing different barriers to education.

In this role, you will help build and maintain the Student Parents section of our website and make it easier for student parents to find relevant educational, financial, childcare, career, and support resources. Responsibilities may include:

• Researching and identifying scholarships, childcare resources, financial assistance, educational programs, mentorship opportunities, family resources, and other opportunities for student parents
• Maintaining an organized and up-to-date list of resources and opportunities
• Helping design, update, and maintain the Student Parents section of our website
• Identifying gaps in available resources and suggesting new ways No Barriers Education can support student parents
• Taking ownership of the direction of the section and developing new ideas, resources, or initiatives based on your interests and expertise
• Potentially creating or leading programs, events, workshops, or other opportunities for student parents as the organization grows
• Collaborating with other volunteers and contributing to the broader No Barriers Education initiative

We are especially looking for someone who is passionate about helping student parents pursue their educational goals. Personal experience as a student parent or experience working with student parents, families, or related communities is a plus, but is not required. We value people who are compassionate, proactive, reliable, and excited to take ownership of a project.

This position is very part-time and flexible. We expect the role to take only a few hours per week, depending on your availability and how much you would like to contribute. Our team meets biweekly for approximately 30 minutes, with additional collaboration happening asynchronously.

This role is part of a larger initiative in which volunteers will lead dedicated sections supporting students in foster care, first-generation and low-income students, GED and adult learners, students experiencing homelessness, students with disabilities, immigrant and newcomer students, and working students.

This is an opportunity to have meaningful ownership over a growing initiative and shape how No Barriers Education supports student parents.
