Job Description:

• More than ever before, students are arriving in the college setting void of the tools needed to succeed.

• In this coaching role, you will help students better understand how to organize, plan, prioritize, advocate with professors, manage time, maintain focus, self-assess, and study to promote both academic and emotional well being in the college setting.

• The coach will help college students set actionable goals and then assist in the implementation of every day tasks to meet those goals.

• You will communicate with parents in an initial intake and then work with students to co-create monthly updates for their parents as the year progresses.
