About the Role
The Educational Coordinator/Recruiter (ECR) role is vital for the needs of the student and the success of the center. It is often the first point of contact between B.O.O.K.

You will work directly with community organizations/families and school districts to acquire recommendations and registrations for students/families in need of the services that we provide, helping ensure the center maintains the required quota needed for the school year. As the coordinator you will assess the needs and current performance of those students, and meet with parents as well as teachers to discuss and help guide concerns regarding the student and ensure the agreed upon educational plan is being used properly.
