Job Description
ABOUT ASPIRE
Aspire Public Schools operates a network of high-performing, college preparatory charter schools serving TK-12 scholars in communities across California. Founded in 1998—in an effort to transform the inequitable racial, social, and gender outcomes that our communities persist through—Aspire is one of the largest and most forward-thinking open-enrollment public charter school systems in the nation.
Our purpose is to prepare our scholars for success in college, career, and life. At Aspire, we set a foundation for our scholars to gain knowledge, skills, and power to access and make choices for their families and post-secondary lives. Every day, our community of students, families, teachers, and staff comes together to learn, work, and play in an environment grounded in our values of Bienestar (Well-Being), Culture of Belonging, Community Partnership, Agency & Self-Determination, and Joy.
The Community and Family Outreach Coordinator supports the implementation of the Community Schools strategy by strengthening family connection, engagement, and access to community-based supports.
This role embeds a strong focus on family connection and individualized support, ensuring all families are meaningfully engaged and able to access the resources and opportunities available through the Community Schools model.
The Coordinator may report directly to the Principal, Community School Director, or Expanded Learning Director, depending on site structure. Regardless of reporting structure, the role maintains a consistent focus on family outreach, relationship-building, and access to supports, and does not assume supervisory, program design, or strategic leadership responsibilities assigned to site leadership roles.
The Coordinator works under the direction of site leadership or a designated Community Schools lead, and in alignment with regional teams, to support the day-to-day implementation of efforts aligned to the four pillars of the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP):
Integrated Student Supports
Family and Community Engagement
Collaborative Leadership and Practices
Extended Learning Time and Opportunities
At sites without a Community School Director, the Principal or designee serves as the Community Schools lead for purposes of alignment and oversight.
This position is grant-funded and is designed to enhance and expand existing services, not replace or assume core school site responsibilities.
