EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
COLLEGE ACCESS ADVISOR
We're seeking an energetic, mission-driven College Access Advisor to build a college-going culture inside one of our partner urban public high schools. This is a great fit for a recent college graduate, AmeriCorps/City Year alum, or early-career education professional who's energized by fast-paced school environments and wants hands-on experience guiding teenagers through one of the most important transitions of their lives — many of whom will be the first in their families to consider college.
The Advisor delivers college-readiness workshops, coaches students and families through the application and financial aid process, and builds trusted relationships with school staff and college partners. The ideal candidate connects quickly with students and families across lines of race, culture, and class, stays calm and consistent inside a busy school building, and holds students to high expectations while meeting them where they are.
