Brighton Center, Inc. is a private non-profit community-based organization with the mission to create opportunities for individuals and families to reach self-sufficiency through family support services, education, employment, and leadership.

Purpose:

Every child deserves equitable access to high-quality early learning opportunities.

• Partner with families to identify strengths and connect to community resources and public benefits to reduce barriers to early education enrollment.
• 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
