Safe Passage Program

In all cases, interested applicants must submit to the specific vendor an employment application. CPS is not conducting the hiring. Choose what location interests you, then contact the specific vendor directly and they will be able to describe their exact hiring process.

Successful candidates will typically possess the following qualifications:

• Very knowledgeable (or preferably a member) of the community they wish to serve
• Able to demonstrate a commitment to serving our students
• Able to demonstrate an ability to build relationships with students and de-escalate conflicts
• Consistent track record for being reliable and on time
• Able to physically stand for long periods of time and tolerate all weather conditions
• Able to read and write incident reports
• Must be able to pass CPS Background Check (Download list of enumerated offenses that will not be approved.)
• Additional qualifications may apply for each specific vendor

All Safe Passage workers must be committed to work a total of 5 hours per day, 5 days a week. The exact start and end times will vary by school. In all cases, Safe Passage workers will need to work a split shift to support student arrival and dismissal, meaning people will be expected to work a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon. Pay is $14.00/hour.

All Safe Passage workers will receive training before they begin working as well as ongoing support to promote a successful experience.
