RISE (Readiness, Inquiry, Scholarship, Education) is HopeWell’s newest innovative solution to advance equity in education and improve educational opportunities for children experiencing foster care. The program aims to build students’ early literacy skills through a culturally responsive, evidence-informed curriculum designed to meet the unique needs of children in foster care by integrating literacy learning, social and emotional skill development, and a trauma-informed approach.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and engaged team to work toward closing the opportunity gap for foster care-involved youth. RISE offers an innovative solution, turning the typical model on its head. With tutoring and other educational supports specifically designed around the unique challenges faced by foster care-involved children, RISE is a home-based service that follows children as they move and incorporates supports for any caregivers involved in a child’s life (e.g. foster parents, biological parents, kinship caregivers). This provides children with continuous academic support, even as they experience changes in their placement and permanency goals. RISE launched during the 2021-22 school year and is currently supporting students in kindergarten through 3rd grade in the Greater Boston area, and will be growing in size and scope in the coming years.
The Education Support Specialist will provide education support and advocacy to youth in foster care. This work will occur through direct support for youth and caregivers (i.e., foster parents, biological parents), as well as close collaboration with other program staff, caregivers, and school personnel to ensure that all youth are receiving appropriate services needed to reach their academic goals. Much of this work will take place in person, in the community, either at the homes of youth and caregivers, or by attending meetings in school settings.
This position requires an experienced professional whose passion for education, child welfare, and social justice is matched with strong leadership, sound judgement in the face of complex challenges, and a proven track record of supporting youth’s educational stability connection to resources. A dynamic, collaborative, and results-oriented service provider, the Education Support Specialist has alignment with HopeWell’s mission and will thrive on taking an entrepreneurial and innovative approach to meeting youth’s education needs.
