About Bilingual Generation & ImmSchools:

Bilingual Generation aims to help children with bilingualism in their bones learn, retain, and connect with their heritage languages and cultures. We are a team of parents, educators, and researchers, who were directly impacted by linguistic and cultural oppression and who work to ensure that the gifts of bilingualism are passed onto the next generation. Through capacity building, narrative change work, and innovative learning tools, we equip families, educators, and schools to better serve and celebrate emergent bilingual students.

ImmSchools was founded in 2018 by two immigrant women with more than 20 years of combined experience as educators working at the intersection of immigration and education. Our initial vision for ImmSchools was simple: to support more educators in creating safe and welcoming spaces in schools that we and our families wished we had when we were students. Today, ImmSchools partners with school districts to create more welcoming and safe schools to meet the needs of K-12 immigrant students, their families and educators.

Role Overview:

• Foster partnerships with local stakeholders, LEAs, district, and school leaders to strategically steward and pilot this work
• Lead community-centered workshops and focus groups with families, educators, and partner organizations
• Build relationships with immigrant communities to gather input and co-create resources

Who You Are:

• Strategic thinker and problem solver who can help us think about launching and scaling this work in a California context
• A skilled facilitator with 5+ years of experience working with immigrant, Latine, or multilingual communities
• Bilingual in Spanish and English, with strong communication and writing skills in both
• Have experience with dual language, bilingual, or newcomer programs
