Community Outreach Coordinator (part-time)
Description:
GreatSchools, the nation’s premier provider of online K-12 information, has embarked on an ambitious project to provide quality educational information to DC parents. This project, a part of the GreatSchools Local initiative, brings comprehensive, audience-appropriate material to DC parents in conjunction with personalized workshops to help parents choose the right school for their children and support their children’s educational success.
Community Outreach Coordinators work to bring these resources and services to DC parents. This is not a “sit at your desk” job, as these individuals are constantly out in the community and always searching for ways to broaden and deepen the program.
This position reports to the GreatSchools DC Program Director.
Responsibilities:
• Serve as GreatSchools DC’s lead outreach staff member in Wards 5 and 6
• Assist in the development and distribution of the DC School Chooser and Neighborhood One Sheets, the primary in-hand tools of the program
• Be an on-call resource for DC parents through the GreatSchools DC parent hotline
• Promote, use and teach basic technology usage to parents regarding the GreatSchools Web site
• Conduct workshops for DC parents
• Maintain accurate records of family contacts and coaching events
• Build relationships with early childhood centers, schools and community organizations (Wards 5 and 6 specifically)
• Attend semi-annual Advisory Council meetings
• Represent GreatSchools DC at various community events and school fairs
• Support the Program Director’s efforts to maintain the program’s fiscal sustainability and effectiveness
Compensation and Hours:
This is a part-time position with hours ranging from 15-18 per week and will require scheduling flexibility around evenings and weekends. Compensation is $20 an hour, and there are no benefits available. Candidates must be able to commit to at least one full year from date of hire.
