Edmonds Cofield Preparatory Academy for Young Men (ECPA) is New Haven’s first dedicated middle school for young men. Our mission is to develop resourceful, resilient, and responsible young men who think critically, lead ethically, and contribute positively to their communities.

Edmonds Cofield Preparatory Academy for Young Men is seeking a Part‑Time Student Support & School Culture Associate who brings steadiness, warmth, and high expectations to the daily work of supporting our young men. This person will help support the great work already happening and contribute to a focused, positive, and affirming school environment where every young man knows he belongs — and has the culture, systems, and support he needs to grow into his best self.

Much of that work happens proactively and in every interaction: a greeting at the door, a check-in at lunch, a scholar recognized in front of his peers for living out our values. In addition to promoting proactive school culture support, this team member makes sure that if a scholar has to step out of class — be it for a reset, a referral, or for any additional support — the time away has a purpose, the path back is clear, and he returns ready to learn.

As Connecticut’s first all‑boys public charter school, ECPA is now entering its next pivotal stage of growth. After a successful launch year with a small founding cohort, the school is now growing toward full scale — ultimately serving nearly 400 scholars in grades 5–8 — and a strong, consistent school culture is at the heart of that trajectory.

In this space, the Part‑Time Student Support & School Culture Associate will work closely with the Principal, school leadership, teachers, and families to run referral and re‑entry routines, supervise in‑school support and ISS, lead restorative conversations, and carry out logical consequences grounded in social‑emotional learning. The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, consistent, and able to hold a firm line with a young man in one moment and help him repair a relationship the next.

Joining ECPA at this stage means stepping into a school community still writing its early chapters. This role is perfect for someone who understands how much an equitable, predictable, and restorative approach to behavior shapes the daily experience of a middle school campus, and who wants to help build culture practices that will shape the school for years to come.
