About The Children's Storefront
The science is clear: back-and-forth interactions between caregivers and children in the first three years of life build the strongest foundation for brain growth and lifelong success, and responsive play is an important tool to build babies’ brains -- yet this research often doesn’t reach the parents who could use it to support their children’s healthy development.
The Children's Storefront has partnered with families in Harlem for over fifty years, and is now laser-focused on bringing the power of responsive interactions and child-led play to our community. Our newly-launched playspace model allows parents and children to learn together, with caregivers practicing the skills that spur brain development while receiving immediate feedback and support from early childhood specialists. Our program has a lasting impact on children, families, and communities, and we hope you'll join us to move this important work forward!
About the Position
Program Coaches deliver The Children’s Storefront’s early childhood program to families across Harlem, New York City, and beyond. Coaches lead in-person group sessions that support caregivers in developing “serve and return” skills (training in our model will be provided). Coaches provide positive feedback to caregivers, and provide insights into the science behind how children’s brain architecture can be built through play and responsive interactions. Coaches also serve as ambassadors for The Children’s Storefront, engaging in outreach activities to promote the program and connect with new families.
Coaches employ a hybrid model – spending part of their time working remotely and part of their time in-person at our playspace in Harlem – and work 35 hours per week. This will include weekends and potentially early evening hours in order to accommodate family schedules; exact schedules will be determined in consultation with the Program Manager. Coaches must be based in New York City. We are specifically seeking candidates that speak both English and Spanish to help us expand our Spanish-language programming.
Primary Responsibilities
Administrative Work
The Coach is responsible for the administrative work necessary in order to deliver high-quality, community-centered programming that is reflective of our organizational values and helps to achieve our strategic goals.
Track attendance in classes over time, as well as important observations, assessments, etc.
Respond in a timely manner to all data requests concerning performance, family engagement, and other programmatic queries
Support communications to caregivers, including sending attendance reminders and other general check-ins via email or phone
Complete light cleaning and tidying of the playspace after all in-person sessions, including cleaning toys and other sessions materials
Program Delivery
The Coach leads our in-person classes, providing guidance to caregivers on early childhood brain development.
Plan weekly curriculum, including activities and focus areas; collaborate with program team to determine monthly themes for sessions and new approaches to support caregivers’ skill development
Deliver program content and explain the research and science behind early childhood brain development in an accessible, engaging way to support the development of responsive parenting skills
Work to establish trusting relationships with all families, grounded in anti-racist practice, a community orientation, and a personalized, reflective approach that supports the needs of each caregiver and child
Engage in community building with families and creating space for shared reflection, support, and learning
Engage in outreach activities – including tabling, canvassing, presentations, digital outreach, and other tactics – in order to boost attendance for all sessions
Collaborate with coaching team and Program Manager to continuously improve upon and refine TCS’ program based on observations, newly identified best practices, and caregiver feedback
Qualifications
A minimum of a high school diploma or GED is required, along with at least two years of professional experience in direct work with families and young children. Additional education or experience in early childhood education or early intervention is preferred.
As The Children’s Storefront is in the start-up phase, coaches should be creative problem-solvers, adaptive and flexible, and highly organized. We seek candidates who are self-motivated and are strategic in their time management. Above all, Coaches should be deeply invested in the community and should approach their work with curiosity, a growth mindset, and a passion for supporting families. Candidates who are bilingual (English/Spanish) are preferred.
The Children’s Storefront serves a diverse and evolving neighborhood. Candidates should view this as a source of strength, and should enjoy building authentic, trusting relationships with those who may hold identities or have lived experiences that differ from their own. Further, as an organization centering justice and racial equity, candidates must be committed to the ongoing individual work that anti-racist practice requires of us.
Our Benefits
100% employer-paid premiums for health, dental, and vision insurance for individual employees (with generous options for spouse/family coverage)
Flexible spending account
Ample paid time off, including 15 holidays, 10 sick days, and 15 vacation days
Professional development funds for each team member, along with regular team training opportunities
Hybrid work schedule - team members work remotely part of the time, and spend the rest of their time in our office in Harlem, NY
Application Instructions
You can apply via email. Please send your resume and cover letter to HR@TheChildrensStorefront.org with the subject line “Program Coach - Your Name”.
Your cover letter should be no more than one page in length, and it should detail how your experience positions you for this role and why you are invested in early childhood work. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
Because of the volume of applications we receive, we will not be able to respond individually to each applicant. We will only contact you if you are selected for an interview. We are a small team, and appreciate candidates refraining from calling us to enquire about their application.
The Children’s Storefront recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes team members without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, HIV/AIDS status, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law. All are encouraged to apply.

Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network
Westminster, CO
Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) provides free immigration legal services and social services to individuals in immigration detention and to children and their families throughout Colorado. RMIAN believes that justice for immigrants means justice for all.
Through the Social Service Project, RMIAN is one of few immigration legal services organizations in the country to offer integrated social service support. Founded and staffed by masters-level social workers, the Social Service Project assists particularly vulnerable detained adult immigrants, including people determined by the immigration court to be mentally incompetent to represent themselves; unaccompanied immigrant youth in the custody of the Office of Refugee and Resettlement; and other youth and families who would benefit from expert guidance in navigating challenging new social structures.
RMIAN’s social workers provide wrap-around support, including help dealing with the stress of detention, healthcare advocacy, support with aspects of legal case preparation, and planning for needed services upon clients’ release from detention. For non-detained youth and their family members, social workers provide therapeutic support, connection to mental health treatment, medical care, public benefits, and other assistance, as well as ongoing support throughout clients’ legal cases.
Position Overview
As RMIAN’s long-time leader and developer of the Social Service Project transitions out of the organization, we are seeking the right person to guide the next chapter of these vital services , and to manage and support a strong team of three masters-level social workers. The Director of Social Work will direct program strategy; supervise members of the team; oversee day-to-day operations, including grant management, evaluation and reporting; liaise with community partners and funders; carry a very limited caseload; and participate on RMIAN’s Leadership Team to carry out the organization’s mission and strategic priorities, including justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

A love of managing staff: This person has several years of management experience and truly enjoys helping their team members grow and develop. They have demonstrated skills with direct communication and feedback, empathy and active listening, coaching staff to solve problems, and expertise in time and case management.

Education and collaboration: This is someone who understands how to educate and train others on the value and process of social work, ideally including previous experience collaborating with attorneys. This person is both flexible and direct, and naturally gains the trust of others. They know how to engage people’s strengths toward a goal and to give clear action steps and coaching so they can collaborate effectively.
Passion for social justice and immigration issues in the U.S.: Ideally, this person possesses some work or lived experience in the immigration space, but at a minimum, has been paying attention to the issues over the last few years, and is fired up to create change that is responsive to the needs of our clients, and is eager to learn about the legal processes and structures that impact individual case outcomes.
Strategic thinking and thought leadership: The ideal candidate has some experience zooming out from day-to-day case management to see patterns and systems issues, and is creative in imagining ways to address structural problems, especially in collaboration with external partners. This is someone who knows how to foster relationships with allies across the region to accomplish more together.
Systems-thinker about client case management: Through their previous social work experience, this person has demonstrated a hunger to be organized, efficient, and effective in juggling multiple clients’ cases and demands, and has developed or strengthened systems that balance details and the big picture. This person can handle multiple tasks running in parallel and can triage to help the team meet time-sensitive deadlines while working toward larger goals.

Full time
Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) provides free immigration legal services and social services to individuals in immigration detention and to children and their families throughout Colorado. RMIAN believes that justice for immigrants means justice for all.
Through the Social Service Project, RMIAN is one of few immigration legal services organizations in the country to offer integrated social service support. Founded and staffed by masters-level social workers, the Social Service Project assists particularly vulnerable detained adult immigrants, including people determined by the immigration court to be mentally incompetent to represent themselves; unaccompanied immigrant youth in the custody of the Office of Refugee and Resettlement; and other youth and families who would benefit from expert guidance in navigating challenging new social structures.
RMIAN’s social workers provide wrap-around support, including help dealing with the stress of detention, healthcare advocacy, support with aspects of legal case preparation, and planning for needed services upon clients’ release from detention. For non-detained youth and their family members, social workers provide therapeutic support, connection to mental health treatment, medical care, public benefits, and other assistance, as well as ongoing support throughout clients’ legal cases.
Position Overview
As RMIAN’s long-time leader and developer of the Social Service Project transitions out of the organization, we are seeking the right person to guide the next chapter of these vital services , and to manage and support a strong team of three masters-level social workers.

This program allows nurses to deliver the support first-time moms need to have a healthy pregnancy, become knowledgeable and informed parents, and provide their babies with the best possible start in life. Nurse-Family Partnership has demonstrated statistically that this research-based program significantly improves critical outcomes for at-risk women and their children who receive services in local communities. More information can be found at: www.nursefamilypartnership.org .
Beginning with nurse home visits that occur during pregnancy and continue until the child is age two, Nurse Home Visitors provide coaching and care to first-time expectant mothers. The nurse develops therapeutic relationships and utilizes concepts of reflection and motivational interviewing with women and their families in a home visiting environment modeling client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches. The Nurse Home Visitor maintains the highest standards in clinical nursing practice and adherence to the NFP model, as well as to policies, procedures, guidelines, and standards of NFP and of the lead agency, Goodwill of Central and Southern Indiana.

Mathematics is a beautiful subject, full of compelling intellectual challenges and deep connections to virtually every aspect of life. If this sounds like something you would say, then we're looking for you! Being a math tutor is a wonderful opportunity to support students in developing their critical thinking, socio-emotional, and math understanding -- skills that they will use throughout their lives. Each student sees math from a unique perspective, which is often very different from our own. This is why teaching math requires more creativity (and more understanding) than we might imagine. We're hoping for a tutor that is super excited about math and ready to share that passion with their students. Again, if that's you, we can't wait to support you!
At Cignition, we’re committed to building something extraordinary, and we won’t settle for anything less than the most talented, innovative, passionate, and committed tutors we can find.

Cignition works with you to provide online tutoring sessions that match your schedule and tutoring interests.

Cignition has several grant-based and district-specific programs launching that require tutors to be available consistently for 30-60 minute windows 2-5 times per week. These programs last from one semester to an entire school year and can take place between 8 am and 8pm EST on weekdays. Weekend sessions may be available during the school year depending on a school district's need. These programs have an expectation that tutors work with the same small groups each week as relationships are crucial to student learning.
Our Model:
Cignition works with several school districts across the country from K-12
Tutors work with groups of 3-4 students.
We place a strong emphasis on inquiry and collaborative learning
We value rigor and exceptionally high expectations in addition to differentiated support to meet the needs of all students
As part of your commitment, we ask that you:
Embody Cignition’s mission and core values.
Facilitate engaging, differentiated, student-centered, appropriately paced, and rigorous instruction in a virtual learning environment.

OVERVIEW
VoteRiders is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focused on voter ID education and assistance. Our work raises awareness of voter ID laws and VoteRiders’ services. Our programs identify, educate and help voters in need of voter ID assistance so they can vote with confidence, knowing they cannot be turned away .
Targeted voter ID education and assistance in Texas has never been more crucial, as a new voting law enacted in December 2021 has created further confusion about the state’s requirements for ID when voting in-person and by mail. Because of this new law, as well as widespread confusion and intimidation surrounding voter ID issues more broadly, thousands of Texans were unable to, or deterred from, casting a ballot during the state’s March 1, 2022, primary election. Ahead of the midterm elections in November and beyond, VoteRiders is seeking to expand its presence in Texas to mitigate the impact of the new (and ongoing, stringent) voter ID provisions in the state’s voting laws and help Texans cast a ballot that counts and in large numbers.
The Latino community in Texas is particularly impacted by voter ID laws, and in need of targeted support to ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast a ballot that counts in a context of widespread confusion regarding the state’s new voting law. For this reason, VoteRiders is seeking a Spanish-speaking Bilingual Organizer to be based in Houston, Texas to support and scale our work in the greater Houston region, with a particular focus on implementing and expanding our Voter ID Clinics program. Voter ID Clinics involve placing trained VoteRiders staff or volunteers on-site (or virtually) at partnering community organizations such as shelters, community centers, food banks, and more. Ideally held on a regular basis, VoteRiders’ Voter ID Clinics offer one-on-one and fully-paid voter ID assistance to any voter who needs it — including all transportation arrangements and costs and helping to obtain and paying the fees for the ID and underlying documents.
This is a full-time position, available ASAP. The VoteRiders Houston Organizer will work in close coordination with our Texas Voter ID Coalition Coordinator (based in San Antonio), a second Houston Organizer, and will directly report to our National Voter ID Assistance Director.
COMPENSATION
The salary for this position is $50,000/year. Healthcare benefits, paid sick leave, and paid time off policies are outlined in VoteRiders’ Employee Handbook.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
60% Partner & Volunteer Outreach and Relationship Management

This will include direct service provider organizations and community groups that are willing and able to host regular Voter ID Clinics or refer people in need of voter ID assistance and information to VoteRiders
Train partner organization staff and volunteers in both English and Spanish on Texas’s voter ID law and on the implementation of Voter ID Clinics, ensuring productive and ongoing partnerships that enable VoteRiders’ partners to deliver ID education and assistance to the communities they serve
Recruit, train, and oversee a diverse group of VoteRiders volunteers who can support Voter ID Clinics in-person and virtually, including bilingual support, as well as provide virtual ID assistance outside of regular Voter ID Clinic events

Track and reconcile expenses associated with the organization of Voter ID Clinics and voter ID assistance
Document stories, visually and otherwise, of voters assisted, including the steps taken to obtain an acceptable ID and capturing impact stories for posting on social and digital media as well as through traditional media coverage of Voter ID Clinics
QUALIFICATIONS
