We are committed to ensuring that students receive a high-quality education that prepares them with the skills and mindset to thrive and contribute to their community.
About the Role
As a Student Success Coach and Mentor, your service will focus on coaching and mentoring elementary, middle, and/or high school students. You will help these students earn academic success, improve their attendance, and develop positive behaviors at school. This is an entry-level, paid, full-time position designed for those ready to build themselves, give back, and change the world.
You will plan and monitor individual student progress while working closely with teachers on whole-class instruction, breakout spaces, and other in-class student assistance. While experience in these tasks is not necessary, you will receive 2-4 weeks of training at the beginning of the year to support you. You will work with partner teachers and school staff every step of the way to create an engaging, safe, and healthy classroom space.
Your day-to-day impact will include supporting whole-school initiatives to increase engagement with students and families. This involves supporting or conducting extended day and virtual programming before, during, and after school, including academic enrichment, homework support, recreation, and leadership development. You will also help create and co-lead events that recognize student growth and achievement.
