• Support the identification of systemic barriers that prevent young children from accessing early education, including, but not limited to, racial inequities and families experiencing poverty.

• Demonstrate cultural competency and display a commitment to diversity, racial equity, and inclusion
• Driver's License, personal transportation, and valid vehicle insurance
• Ability to travel throughout the Northern Kentucky region
• One to two years’ experience in the human services or Early Childhood Education fields, directly working with families and young children
