1 - Regular, full time CHS2 with Women & Family Services
2 - Limited Duration CHS2s (no more than 2 years duration) with the Stabilization and Readiness Program (SARP)

The Community Health Specialist 2 positions will work with both clients in custody and within the community. You will develop rapport and engage justice involved clients while assisting Probation and Parole officers with case planning and community program referrals.

The CHS 2 will spend the majority of their time with clients in the community or in community corrections offices.
Typical tasks include:

About the Great Schools Partnership
We are a dedicated and dynamic group of individuals who have joined together to create a high quality, more equitable, and just education system in the United States. Working with educators, administrators, state agencies, community members, parents, and business leaders, we partner with schools to create learning environments where students own their learning, engage in deep work, and prepare themselves for their chosen futures. We believe that each of us needs to be empowered to be creative, take initiative, think outside the box, work collaboratively, and assume leadership roles in our organization.
Our mission is to support, challenge, and collaborate with educators and communities to achieve educational excellence and equity. We envision thriving schools & communities where every student develops the skills and habits necessary to engage in deep learning, pursue their aspirations, and contribute actively toward an equitable society.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At the Great Schools Partnership (GSP), we're not just committed to diversity—we're actively building an anti-racist, equitable organization reflective of the intersecting identities of the communities we serve. We believe that every voice, background, and identity enriches our work and strengthens our collective impact. That's why we celebrate the unique tapestry of race, ethnicity, language, ability, gender, and all the other ways we define ourselves.
This is the bedrock of everything we do. We actively advocate for and support schools, districts, and communities on their journeys toward educational equity. We also invest our time and resources in ongoing internal efforts to dismantle racism and bias, and foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging. Our goal is to collectively create a space where every member of our staff feels welcomed, valued, empowered, and equipped to contribute their full brilliance.
What’s the big plan for this job?
Our Senior Associates work alongside educators to transform practices, policies, and organizational models to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. This job involves coaching educators and leaders virtually and in person, while also interacting and collaborating with your GSP colleagues on a regular basis. In this role, you’ll be facilitating professional development in organizational design, leadership, teaching and learning, and community engagement. We work in teams as often as we can to share our expertise and problem solve, but our Senior Associates also have solo assignments and develop tools and resources as needed.
What will you be doing?
On site and virtual school coaching focused on achieving equitable outcomes. The bulk of your days will be assigned to contract work in schools and districts both in New England and across the country. You’ll be working with building and district leaders, leadership teams, staff, and, in some cases, school board and community members to support the development of sustainable plans for improvement. While we do have numerous tools and structures to support our work, each assignment is unique and our coaching is context-based and responsive to the unique needs of our partners.
Supporting schools to implement the following high-leverage approaches: a. Anti-racist, inclusive, and equitable practices, policies, and cultures; b. Proficiency-based teaching and learning; c. Multiple and flexible pathways that promote deep learning as well as student voice and choice; d. Shared, data-informed decision-making amongst educators, students, families, and community members; e. Trusting relationships between and among students, families, and educators; f. Professional learning groups
Convening and facilitating conversations among educators, students, families and members of the broader school community. Our Senior Associates are nimble facilitators, practiced in the use of protocols to lead conversations about practice, policy, and systems. A substantial part of our work is about bringing people together and ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in the conversation. In this role, you’ll work with school communities to structure and facilitate these important conversations.
Collecting data and reflecting on practice in cycles of learning and improvement. Senior Associates are supported by our Co-Directors of Coaching and our Director of Research and Evaluation in creating work plans for each school contract. You’ll develop credible theories of action, collect appropriate progress monitoring data, and determine how your work contributes to positive outcomes for the schools you coach.
Facilitating workshops and conference sessions. While coaching is the primary focus of this role, we also host and present at conferences throughout the year. Many of these presentations will be a team effort.
Developing and implementing tools for school improvement. Our staff are incredibly talented and creative people who routinely create new processes and resources for use in schools and communities. You’ll work collaboratively to develop tools and resources for use with schools and in workshops. Many of these will also be featured in toolkits on our website.
Learning and reflecting together with colleagues. You will participate in monthly all-staff learning and planning days and monthly coaching retreats for senior associates to learn, plan, and develop new skills and resources. In addition, you will frequently work as part of a team on many contracts which will provide the opportunity for you to learn from your colleagues and for them to learn from you.
What qualities do you need to succeed in this role?
You share our commitment to equitable education for every student. This is a job, but it is more than just filling in your time. You need to be committed to public education and believe that by improving the quality of learning we can improve the life-long outcomes of our students and fundamentally and positively impact the lives of everyone in our communities. You have the bravery to challenge inequities in our educational systems and the strategic acumen to get results.
You bring expertise and experience in teaching, learning, and leading in K-12 schools, and are able to adapt best practices to meet the specific needs of schools and districts where we work. You believe in the high-leverage approaches listed above and are committed to demonstrating the moral courage necessary to support educators in implementing these ideas. You have the ability to quickly assess the most pressing needs of a school, district, or community and craft a plan and set of recommendations for a path toward improvement.
You have experience using data and research to help guide decision making. You are familiar with different types of data sources available to schools and districts and are comfortable reviewing data to identify areas for growth and improvement.
You have public confidence and conviction. You enjoy exploring and developing ideas extemporaneously, in collaboration with others and in public settings. You view disagreements as opportunities to explore new ideas and develop better results where success is the development and implementation of great ideas that are shared between everyone involved.
You get energized when engaged in new personal growth opportunities. You enjoy developing new skills, are not afraid of ambiguity, and are willing to demonstrate learning in a public situation. You find power in learning with others even when you are in a position of leading work.
You get stuff done. You are self-motivated and able to work both independently and as part of a close-knit team. You are able to prioritize among competing demands to manage multiple projects, identify strategic priorities, and differentiate between work that you need to take the time to get perfect versus activities that just need to get finished. When problems arise, you figure out ways to push through to solutions.
You believe teammates matter. Certainly, you can work on your own to see projects through to fruition, but you know that collective efforts and insight can create better outcomes. You are dependable with colleagues, supportive of others, and able to tackle a challenge as part of a group. You value diversity, respect different ideas, and openly address concerns with your colleagues.
Our process strives to screen in rather than out. We welcome your application even if you feel you are not strong in every qualification outlined above.
An additional consideration
We are especially interested in candidates who speak multiple languages recognizing that many of the communities we work with have significant language diversity. Speaking a language in addition to English is not required but is a beneficial additional skill.
Location
Senior Associates may work virtually from a home office. This job requires work on site in schools predominantly in New England and consistent virtual collaboration with educators in the field and other GSP staff. Applicants should expect regular travel with some overnights. We prefer that employees live in one of the six New England states (the core of our work) and will consider candidates who live in eastern New York or northern New Jersey.

You enjoy developing new skills, are not afraid of ambiguity, and are willing to demonstrate learning in a public situation.

About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.
For this posting, we are looking to hire 2-3 Analyst and/or Associate roles:
One role will be a generalist focused fully on project development
One to two hires will have a portion of their role that leans into the scientific modeling side of project development, benefit scoping and evaluation, science communication, and research.
Position responsibilities include supporting execution and day-to-day operations for individual projects, fostering and managing relationships with project partners, facilitating the advancement of working relationships between Blue Forest and beneficiary organizations, and partnering with Managers and Directors to connect day-to-day operations with a long-term strategy.
The project development aspect of the role involves being detail-oriented during day-to-day operations and execution while supporting Managers and Directors with strategy. Analysts and Associates play a key role in project development by developing written materials, working with Managers and Directors to give presentations, and developing relationships with partners. In addition, Analysts and Associates spend their time supporting or servicing as lead coordinator for special projects within other departments at Blue Forest.

Partnerships, Operations, and Communications (10-15%)
Support planning site visits with project partners, executing grant reporting, enhancing internal knowledge sharing, and developing system processes and organization

Position Title: Program Coordinator
Location: Resolution Headquarters at 370 Lexington Avenue, Suite 302, New York, NY
Classification: Non-exempt, full-time
Reporting To: Assistant Director of Programs
Start Date: Immediate
Salary Range: $26.50-28/hour
Work Environment: Hybrid (one or two days a week in-office)
About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change.
The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.
Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 4.6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe. We remain committed—today and always— to all of our Fellows and to expanding our outreach to lower-resourced communities.
Position Summary
The Program Coordinator will join a high-performing team to help ensure Resolution’s achievement of key objectives, specifically contributing to Resolution’s mission by supporting Resolution Fellows throughout the Fellowship lifecycle.
This is a new role working closely with both Assistant Directors of Programs to provide administrative support to Fellows as they onboard onto the program and facilitate access to venture-related, professional resources, opportunities, and educational engagement. The Program Coordinator will also be responsible for key data management tasks and helping to draft content and resources for Resolution’s global audience. This staff member will both support ongoing projects in existing systems and have opportunities to build out new structures.
The candidate must have a flexible schedule, be prepared to join meetings and conference calls earlier and later than regular business hours – including some weekends – with appropriate compensation and/or schedule adjustments, and be willing to occasionally travel when it is safe to do so.
Key Responsibilities
Work collaboratively with professional staff, Fellows, and volunteers to support programmatic goals and organizational growth as follows:
Fellow Relations
Serve as a primary point of contact and support for Resolution Fellows.
Coordinate and run Fellow Orientation calls to help new Fellows acclimate to the program.
Coordinate the initial introductions between Fellows and their volunteer mentors, whom we call Guides.
Provide administrative support to Fellows transitioning through various stages of the Fellowship, including Community Member and Subsequent Social Enterprise Fellows.

Draft Fellow recommendation letters and nominations for external opportunities.
Help Fellows access information by updating and enhancing the Resolution Resource Platform website, working alongside the Program Associate.
Assist the Program Associate with maintaining Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook community, LinkedIn groups, and Community Platforms by posting opportunities and events, answering requests, and sharing resources.
Provide logistical support for Resolution’s Accelerating Impact Challenge.
Update and maintain records in Salesforce, generating reports, updating the website for newly cleared Fellows, and tracking in all relevant documents.
Event and Initiatives
Schedule office hours (accessible online meetings with Subject Matter Experts) with multiple corporate partners for Fellows alongside the Assistant Director of Programs.
Engage with the Fellow community, including organizing occasional in-person and virtual events focused on educational engagement, sending reminders and notes, supporting logistics, and tracking attendance for reporting.
Help schedule and provide logistical support to speakers, panelists, partner attendees, and guests for in-person and virtual events.
Edit video content from existing event/initiative recordings for Resolution’s internal YouTube page and social media platforms.
Program Team Support
Coordination related to scheduling calls, setting up meetings, and, as needed, drafting agendas and taking meeting notes.
Work with the Program team to ensure effective data management.
Draft content for the monthly Resolution Community newsletter.
Other programmatic and general office administrative tasks as needed.
Other related duties, as requested.
Qualifications
At least one year of relevant work or strong internship experience.
Highly organized with meticulous attention to detail and follow through.
Ability to work well independently and seek support and points of escalation when needed.
High level of professional communication with good interpersonal skills to work closely with staff, volunteers, and international Fellows.
Proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Application Suites with a high level of general computer competency.
Commitment to the principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access, and Learning (outlined here in our DEI statement: https://resolutionproject.org/dei-statement/)
Commitment to protecting young people from abuse, per Resolution’s Youth Protection Policy.
Resolution requires that all staff be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine (or approved for an exemption as a reasonable accommodation due to a medical reason or sincerely held religious belief). Resolution abides by each state’s requirements, and acknowledges those may change over time. If moved forward to the phone screen stage, you will have the chance to ask a team member more about this requirement.
Preferred
Experience managing relationships and problem-solving in a professional setting.
Experience in research, collecting data, and creating systems.
