Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Education Specialist provides academic support and advocacy for youth in foster care to ensure they reach their full academic potential. This includes collaborating with parents, school staff, and agency teams to manage caseloads and facilitate transitions to high school and college.
A Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Psychology, or Sociology is required, with a preference for two years of direct care experience. Candidates should possess knowledge of the NYC DOE system, college admissions, and the ability to engage hard-to-reach youth.
At The New York Foundling, we trust in the power and potential of people, and we deliberately invest in proven practices. From bold beginnings in 1869, our New York-based nonprofit has supported hundreds of thousands of our neighbors on their own paths to stability, strength, and independence. We help children and families navigate through and beyond foster care. We help families struggling with conflict and poverty grow strong. We help individuals with developmental disabilities live their best lives, and we help our neighbors access quality health and mental health services—core to building lifelong resilience and wellbeing. Together, our interrelated programs provide a whole-person, whole-family, and whole-life approach that unlocks solutions for a lifetime.
The Educational Specialist is responsible for providing academic support services to youth in the New York Foundling family foster care (FFC) program and reports to the Educational Program Manager who in turn reports to the Education Department Assistant Vice President. The Educational Specialist meets with youth and collaborates with other stakeholders including foster parents, birth parents, school staff and agency staff to ensure that students are receiving all of the supports needed to reach their full academic potential. Educational Specialists manage a caseload of students that require direct and intensive intervention while also providing consultation to case planning teams for indirect intervention so that all FFC students within the assigned region receive educational advocacy support. They also collaborate with New York Foundling tutoring programs including Road to Success and College Bound by providing both tutoring referrals as well as technical support to the tutoring teams. The Educational Specialist must be available when youth are available and may sometimes work evening hours.Duties
Other Requirements:
Trusting in the Power and Potential of People. Since 1869.
At The New York Foundling, we believe that all people—no matter circumstance or zip code—have the opportunity to reach their full potential. But for all of us, discovering what we are capable of and reaching our full potential requires support along the way. We believe and trust in the potential of all people. We work in partnership with more than 30,000 children, adults, and families each year on their own paths to stability, strength, and independence. We believe in the power of personal choice and self-determination. The New York Foundling has deliberately challenged the notion that individuals are limited by their circumstances or are incapable of making the right choice for their future. Rather, our network of programs, services, and opportunities are carefully designed for children, families, and adults to create transformational change in their own lives. We believe and invest in proven practices. With nearly 150 years of experience creating resources, tools, and social capital, we have learned from our community what works. At the same time, we’re not afraid to invest in bold new approaches that comprehensively address challenges and provide the foundation for people to drive their own future.
