About the role

Grand Street Settlement in New York seeks an Outreach Worker to support the Community Schools Initiative in East New York, Brooklyn. You will work with families and school staff to strengthen parent-school communication and improve student attendance, with a focus on home-based outreach and building trust with high-risk families. Responsibilities include creating written records, coordinating with community resources, and partnering with families to develop goal plans.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
