Parent Educator

Are you passionate about empowering parents as their child's first and most important teacher? Generation Hope is looking for a Parent Educator to join our team and play a vital role in advancing our mission of helping student parents achieve academic success and family stability.

Grounded in the evidence-based Parents as Teachers (PAT) model, this role centers the belief that parents are their children's first teachers — and that investing in the whole family is the most powerful way to support a child's development. Reporting to the Senior Early Childhood Manager, the Parent Educator delivers individualized, strengths-based parent education, family coaching, and holistic support to scholar families across Generation Hope's network.

At the heart of this role is the delivery of structured monthly family visits — a minimum of one (1) visit per scholar family per month — using the PAT curriculum to build trusting relationships, assess family strengths and needs, reinforce parent-child bonding and educational goals, and connect families to community resources.

Because many of our scholar families balance school, work, and caregiving during the week, this role offers weekend availability as part of a flexible schedule — a great option for professionals who want workweek flexibility or who thrive outside a traditional 9-to-5.
• A mission-driven, equity-centered team. You'll join an organization deeply committed to student-parent empowerment, racial equity, and whole-family well-being.
• Professional growth in a respected model. Training and certification in the Parents as Teachers model adds a nationally recognized credential to your career toolkit.
