About The Position

Voices is a public charter school network with a mission to prepare all learners for the challenges of higher education through the context of an academically rigorous dual-immersion program. Every learner, regardless of home language, graduates bilingual and biliterate through our full-inclusion English and Spanish dual-language model. Voices College-Bound Language Academies exists to change that. Our educational philosophy is grounded in a sociocultural approach to learning that emphasizes collaboration, language development, and culturally sustaining practices. We believe students learn best in rigorous, language-rich environments that are developmentally responsive prioritizing play-based pedagogy in early childhood and intentional direct and interdisciplinary instruction in the upper grades. Instruction is standards-based and designed to develop bilingualism, biliteracy, and critical thinking through reflective, data-informed practice. The Family & Community Engagement Coordinator (Bilingual Sp/Eng) supports family engagement, outreach, and communication efforts to strengthen relationships between the school, families, and community. This role serves as a key point of contact for families and assists with student recruitment, event coordination, and community partnerships.
