Job description

#OaklandUndivided is a citywide initiative to support Oakland public school students and families with home access to technology. The initiative supports disconnected and underconnected students with laptops, Internet access, and ongoing tech support.

#OaklandUndivided started in spring 2020 with a mandate to close the digital divide for students enrolled in Oakland Public Schools (TK-12), including district and charter schools. The focus of the Family Support Specialist will be to help close these gaps and build trust within our community so that this program can continue to benefit students, now and in the future. She/He/Them will work alongside a fast-growing and dynamic team. The specialist is fluent in English and Mam or Arabic, and will support family outreach and ensure families have access to our digital resources. The candidate will be people-oriented, with an interest in technology, particularly as it applies to enable and educate our community in the quest to become more digitally literate and empowered.

The Family Support Specialist is a 1-year full-time contract funded by the Oakland Public Education Fund to support the efforts of #OaklandUndivided. The contract may be renewed at the end of the contract term based on performance and other factors.
