Position Overview:

The PASS Facilitator provides structured academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support to students through restorative practices and evidence-based programming. The facilitator supports students in developing emotional regulation, responsible decision-making, accountability, communication skills, and strategies for maintaining academic progress. Core programming includes PASS curriculum components grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Project Toward No Drug Abuse (PTND).

This position ensures students remain connected to academic instruction by coordinating with home school staff and supporting continued progress during program placement.
