Proyecto Faro is seeking an experienced bilingual community organizer to train a group of immigrant public-school parent leaders in community organizing skills and methods, and to support them in developing a strategy for empowering parents to influence their school district’s future. The context is a high stakes struggle for educational justice for the public-school children of the East Ramapo Central School District (ERCSD), which serves a predominantly immigrant community with a high percentage of English-language learners. For the past 15 years, a supermajority-white ERCSD school board, who send their own children to local private schools, has systematically defunded this high-needs district.
