The CSFI will be the bridge between families, staff, and community partners to create an integrated student support system that removes barriers to learning.

As a CSFI, you will not work in isolation. You will partner with Kinney High School’s Community School Facilitator and key Prospect Community Day School support staff members to create a cohesive team to support and build trusting and mutually respectful relationships with scholars and their families.

Your role includes supporting and growing community partnerships to help meet the needs of our families. You will engage in in-home visits to improve communication, enhance understanding of the student and family, and gain greater insight to support school performance. You will work with teachers, staff, and families to increase student daily attendance, family engagement at school functions, and support learning at home. This collaborative approach is at the heart of our mission.

In addition, the CSF will lead Parent Cafés and other family engagement opportunities that build connection, leadership, and partnership with families. The Facilitator will recruit and support family participation in School Site Council (SSC) and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) and help families understand opportunities to contribute to school decisions. The Facilitator will also implement the requirements of the 5-year CCSPP grant and support the ongoing development of the Community School.

When schools partner with families to build strong relationships, ensure effective communication, and offer support and resources on their campus, families have the foundation to be engaged, empowered, and advocates for their children. This builds confidence and paves the way for a strong academic future, supporting on-time graduation. As a CSF, you can inspire and motivate these positive outcomes.

Candidates will work some weekends and evenings. The Facilitator should be committed to equity, have extensive community engagement experience in diverse communities, and understand the fundamentals of the California Community Schools Partnership Program.
