PROJECT GRADUATE - Educational Representatives Needed for Project Graduate
Do you like helping teenagers? Do you like to work with at-risk youth? Do you like to advocate for foster children? Do you want to make a difference in someone’s life? Are you looking for a meaningful opportunity to give back to foster youth? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, we need you!
Educational representatives are needed to help guide struggling foster students on a path to graduation. Educational representatives are not required to be attorneys or affiliated legal professionals working for attorney members of RCBA, although we do prefer some affiliation with RCBA. No experience is required to be an educational representative.
Interested individuals go through a background check from the County of Riverside and/or the Riverside County Office of Education, which can take up to six months to complete. After passing the background check, the educational representative completes a one-day training provided by RCBA.
The educational representative is assigned the educational rights of the struggling foster student who is currently in high school, attends educational meetings with the assigned student at school, and advocates for the student.
If you would like to be an educational representative, or have any questions, please contact L. Alexandra Fong, Chair of the Project Graduate Steering Committee, at (951) 358-4737 or [email protected]
Here is background information about Project Graduate.
