College Coach (SF Bay Area, CA)

Overview

Beyond 12 is a national technology-based nonprofit that was launched in 2010 to dramatically increase the number of students from under-resourced communities who graduate from college and translate their degrees into meaningful employment and choice-filled lives. In partnership with high schools and colleges, our college success platform and our virtual coaches provide students with the academic, social, and emotional support they need to succeed in higher education and beyond. We envision a world in which a student's zip code and parent's level of education will no longer predict their college graduation outcomes or their future success.

COLLEGE COACH

THE POSITION

Are you a recent college graduate who is passionate about lifting other students as you climb your own ladders of success? You could inspire the next generation by becoming a college coach. You will work with college students virtually — by phone, text messaging, email, and social media — to help them navigate the beginning of their college career and, ultimately, earn a degree. You will use your academic and personal experiences to help your students set goals, create education plans and budgets, and manage their time effectively so they can be successful in and out of the classroom.

You will also consistently collect important data about your students to monitor progress and help Beyond 12 better understand college persistence and graduation trends.

ABOUT YOU

You are passionate about having an impact on the lives of college students from underrepresented backgrounds. You consistently demonstrate empathy and respect by seeking to understand the obstacles others face and by creating a safe and supportive environment in which they can interact with you virtually. You are comfortable with technology and understand the important role that data plays in providing insights that can help address our most intractable social challenges. Finally, you pursue all tasks with energy and drive, never giving up even in the face of obstacles and setbacks.
