About LunaWay
LunaWay is built on the belief that education can happen anywhere — in a classroom, at a kitchen table, or out in the community — as long as a student feels connected, supported, and seen. We partner with schools, families, and community organizations to help youth reconnect to education through unconditional support, trust, and consistency.
Our programs focus on access — ensuring that every student, no matter their background or barriers, can find a pathway back to success through strong relationships and individualized support.
Position Overview
The Access & Engagement Specialist serves as a bridge between disconnected students and meaningful learning. This role focuses on re-engaging youth who have struggled to attend, connect, or succeed in traditional school settings, helping them build the skills and confidence to transition successfully into more permanent educational environments.
Access & Engagement Specialists meet students where they are — at home, in the community, or at school — to foster belonging, accountability, and readiness to learn.

Collaborate with schools to coordinate plans for student success and monitor progress.
Program & Documentation
Maintain accurate records of student sessions, attendance, and progress notes.
Participate in team meetings and trainings focused on trauma-informed, relationship-based practice.
Contribute to the culture of collaboration, reflection, and student-centered growth within LunaWay.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Education, Human Services, Psychology, Social Work, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Experience working with youth who face barriers to education, including truancy, anxiety, or emotional/behavioral challenges.
