Full Job Description

Greenlight Family Services is seeking a full time Educational Advocate to join our team. This is a hybrid position - 4 days remote and 1 day from the Main Office located at 3636 S Iron Street, Chicago, IL 60609.

Inform parents/guardians of their child’s educational rights.
Develop positive relationships with families for the purpose of creating support for the student and their growth.

Ideal Candidate:

Willingness to occasionally travel to other cities, sometimes staying overnight
Experience with Child Welfare, Special Education services, and CPS.

Requirements:
