Academic & Career Services Coordinator - Young Women's Program AV
4 weeks ago
At the Social Justice Learning Institute, we are dedicated to improving the education, health, and well-being of youth of color by empowering them to take hold of their educational future using research as a tool for community and social change. We train students to conduct research on problems in their community using a rigorous yearlong curriculum while providing basic academic support (i.e., tutoring, homework assistance, academic counseling, etc.) and college preparatory education. SJLI's youth learn what it takes to achieve academically to go to college and become civically engaged, solution-oriented, and critical participants in the democratic experience. SJLI envisions an educational system where youth become engaged citizens who discover their best talents and apply them to help improve the world they live within.
The school year marked the pilot of the Urban Scholars Young Women's program. This program has been a long-standing goal of SJLI to be able to offer a program that alters the life trajectories for young women as it has done so for the original Urban Scholars program. For the school year, the Young Women's Program (YWP) will be offered at three school districts, including the Antelope Valley Union High School District.
The Young Women's Program is a credit-bearing class with 20-25 students, presented over two semesters. The Academic and Career Services Coordinator (ACSC) is responsible for fostering strong relationships with students that enable them to set and make progress on personal and academic goals. A key performance indicator of the Program is working with students to graduate high school and place them onto a college and or career path. It is the ACSC that is primarily responsible for working with students individually on skills-building, assisting with college applications, and referrals for personal and academic support.
The ACSC is an essential part of the program team that implements the Young Women's Program. The team includes the Program and Curriculum Coach, the school site Teacher-of-Record, the school principal on the school campus, the school counselor; and support from SJLI's Educational Equity Programs Director, Young Women's Program Manager, and the National Director of Programs. The Program is also supported by Project Sankofa, who are our program, curriculum and training consultants.
The ideal candidate for this position is someone who has program experience working with young Black women in high school as a teacher, counselor, and or mentor who can establish a strong and trusting rapport with students. A degree in Ethnic and Women's Studies or related fields is desirable. A thorough understanding of Black Feminist studies, authors, and educators is critical.
