**Community School Coordinator**

**Child First Background**

(CFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing youth and strengthening families by providing high-quality community schools, after-school and summer learning programs that promote academic achievement, social and emotional well-being, and parent leadership.

**The Community School Strategy**

The Community School Strategy is an evidence-based strategy and framework that unite families, educators and community partners to address barriers to student and family success, promote educational excellence for each and every child, and strengthens families and the overall community. A Community School transforms traditional public schools into neighborhood hubs that mobilize students, staff, families and community members to reimagine education and co-construct a shared vision for their school and community.

Community Schools create the conditions students need to thrive through:

- Integrating student supports - resources and supports that service the whole child;
- Expanding and enriching learning - expanded learning opportunities both during the day and out of school time hours;
- Engaging family and community - partnering with families and community members to identify and meet the needs, making everyone feel safe, welcomed and involved in the school;
- Lead in collaboration - inclusive decision making and peer learning to build trust amongst stakeholder groups.

The Community School Coordinator (CSC) is a full-time professional employee of Child First Authority working at a partner Community School, to implement the community school strategy. The CSC facilitates and provides leadership for the collaborative process and development of a continuum of services for children, families, and community members through these buckets of work: family and community engagement, student and family supports and partnership and resource development.

Together with the school principal and broader school community, the Community School Coordinator (CSC) will assess the needs of the designated school and form strategic partnerships to help eliminate barriers to academic success for students and families.

Successful CSCs come from a variety of professional backgrounds, but possess several key qualities:

- A natural relationship builder with hunger for results.
- A go-getter dedicated to finding solutions to intractable obstacles in order to ensure students and their families are fully supported.
- Flexible in the face of changing community needs and priorities.
- Ability to continuously evaluate and improve their efforts responding to data, feedback from stakeholders, and lessons gathered from their school-based and organizational team.
