Qualifications:

What You'll Bring:
  • At least 2 years of experience working with elementary/middle school students and families, ideally within Youth Development, Social Services, Family Assessments, or Community Engagement.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required, with some college education in a related field being a bonus.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication abilities combined with practical decision-making and problem-solving skills.
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish would be an advantage.
  • Availability and willingness for local travel for home visits, community engagement initiatives, and occasional evening hours to accommodate family needs.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, particularly with administrative tasks including proficient use of Microsoft Suite for thorough and meticulous documentation, upholding professional boundaries, and maintaining confidentiality.

By joining us at the Bronx Academy for Multi-Media, you're stepping into a role that fosters growth, learning, and tangible change, not just in our students' lives but yours as well.
