Join Our Team

We acknowledge that when the leadership of our school doesn’t reflect the families in our community, our school will not feel welcoming for all families who wish to enroll. As such, we are working towards a goal of 50% racial diversity within our staff, educators, interns, administration and board of directors. Therefore, we are seeking a diverse pool of applicants for all open positions. If you feel you meet many of the qualifications we are looking for and share our mission and values, we encourage you to apply. If there is an accommodation we can make to the process smoother during the recruitment process, please let us know.

Board of Directors Position, Volunteer

We are looking for a board member who is first and foremost, passionate about our mission and vision and is ready to work with our leadership teams to ensure the work we are doing holds true to our values. Board members meet virtually the 1st Wednesday of the month at 6:00p and should be reasonably available via email. We need flexible thinkers and creative problem-solvers! If you or someone you know is interested in joining our board, please send an email to rocs-board@redoakcommunityschool.org.

Student Support Interns, School Credit

We are especially interested in working with college students who are studying in the fields of child psychology, child development and education. Our program provides a unique opportunity for students who are wanting to work in student support fields (school psychologist, intervention specialists, etc.) Our interns work closely alongside our staff in the classroom, during outside times and on field trips and are an integral part of our team.
