What is an Ed Navigator?

Ed Navigators are professionals who guide students and their families through the educational system, helping them access resources, understand options, and make informed decisions about education. They often work in schools, nonprofits, or community organizations, supporting learners in areas like enrollment, special education, college access, and more. Ed Navigators act as advocates, facilitators, and knowledgeable resources, ensuring that students receive the support they need to succeed academically. Their role is especially important for families unfamiliar with the education system or facing barriers to access.
