Attendance & Family Success Coordinator in San Francisco, California at Mission Graduates

Mission Graduates is a nonprofit organization that increases the number of K-12 students in San Francisco's Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college education. We work towards fulfilling our mission through a wide range of after-school support services that serve over 3,700 children, youth, and families each year. Our vision is to transform the culture of our neighborhood so that college becomes the expectation for Mission families, rather than the exception.

Program Overview:
The Parent Partner Program works with over 1,000 parents across 13 schools to increase the skills, motivation, and confidence of Latinx parents in public schools, so they can be more effective advocates for their children’s education and stronger partners on their path to college.

The Attendance & Family Success Coordinator position will support the Parent Partner Program and oversee its implementation directly at one of our partner schools. This position will ensure every student at Moscone is present daily, engaged, and supported.
