POSITION OVERVIEW

The 12th Grade Program Manager is a perfect role for someone eager to provide individualized advising directly to academically-prepared students throughout the year they apply to college. We are seeking highly motivated, professional, self-directed, and enthusiastic candidates who are passionate about propelling the potential of young people who are farthest away from academic opportunity. The ideal candidate will have experience as a college counselor in a high school or college setting with financial aid and scholarship advising experience, and possess a strong belief that, through commitment and hard work, students can achieve their dreams of college acceptance, attendance, and completion. 

College Advising

• Create and foster an environment for all 12th grade Scholars that encourages intellectual curiosity, an inclusive, close-knit and supportive community, and a college-going culture.
