What It Means to Be a Site Coordinator

Your site is your responsibility.

You'll set the tone for how your team works, how students experience the program, how families are welcomed, and how effectively the program operates.

That means being visible. Being organized. Having difficult conversations when they're needed. Recognizing great work when you see it. Solving problems before they become bigger ones. And constantly asking:

How can we make this program better tomorrow than it was today?
