Coordinator of Community Leadership

Coordinator of Community Leadership, GO Public Schools Bay Area

THE ORGANIZATION
GO Public Schools is seeking a Coordinator of Community Leadership to join our team. We are a multi-city organization of local networks, working with families and their champions– educators, school leaders, community leaders, elected and appointed officials– to promote and advocate for equitable public education for underserved California communities. Together, we hold systems
and leaders accountable for the outcomes they create for students.
Currently, GO supports networks of leaders in the East Bay and Central Valley through both GO Public Schools (a 501c3) and GO Public Schools Advocates (a 501c4). GO envisions a day when schools prepare all children for success in our rapidly evolving world, creating an equitable path to opportunity in our communities. GO develops leadership at every level—families, educators,
school boards, district leaders and grasstops. These leaders inform and develop community visions for student success, and they shape, demand, and win system changes that improve student learning.

THE OPPORTUNITY AND CHARGE
At GO, we believe that community stakeholders (parents, educators, and community members) are leaders before they come to us and will continue to build their leadership after engaging in our programs and campaigns. We aim to consistently build advocacy, leadership, and networking skills for the families, educators, and community we work with so that they are better able to be decision makers, leaders, and collaborators.

Our next Coordinator of Community Leadership will be a critical member of our Bay Area team, responsible for helping us broaden and deepen our network of informed and active education advocates. This person is responsible for ensuring that a strong base of family members, educators, and community leaders drive GO’s overall direction in our local communities and
organization-wide, and also provides leadership within the broader local education community and GO network. Our work environment is fast-paced and collaborative, and the ideal candidate must be a natural
self-starter who can manage multiple projects and work streams and be nimble to changing priorities. The Coordinator of Community leadership must be able to lead, coach, and help build the capacity of our families. They will conduct outreach and deliver programming for different stakeholders, including families, community members, and community-based organization leaders
and partners from diverse backgrounds. This is a full time, non-exempt position that reports directly to the East Bay Managing Director.
