The County of San Mateo Board of Supervisors and County Manager's Office seek well-qualified candidates for the position of The Big Lift Program Coordinator II.
 
The Big Lift is an initiative led by the County of San Mateo, San Mateo County Office of Education, and Silicon Valley Community Foundation with the aim of having 80% of the county’s children reading proficiently by the end of 3rd-grade.
 
In 2012, San Mateo County leaders were devastated to learn that only 25% of children from low-income families were reading proficiently in third grade, a critical benchmark for lifetime success. Working together, over 300 community partners turned this collective dismay into action, launching The Big Lift, one of the most ambitious literacy projects in the nation. The Big Lift is what happens when people and institutions focus on working together to achieve dramatic social change.
 
The Big Lift combines high-quality and connected learning experiences from preschool to third grade. This collective impact initiative includes two years of high-quality preschool, summer learning programs for preschool to 3rd grade students, family engagement opportunities, and attendance initiatives.
 

The Big Lift high-quality Preschool program serves 900 children ages 3-5 years old at 37 sites preparing children for more success in kindergarten.
 

The Big Lift Inspiring Summers program serves 1,500 rising kindergarten to third grade students at nine sites. Inspiring Summers aims to support student’s academic and social-emotional skills and interrupt the well-documented summer learning slide that is present for economically disadvantaged children.
 

The Big Lift Family Engagement strategy is embedded in the Big Lift preschool programs, providing support and education for reading at home and family involvement in children’s learning.
 

The Big Lift Attendance strategy provides customized attendance messaging to preschool-second grade students with the objective of reducing chronic absenteeism.
