Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we serve nine high poverty schools. Our Kids on Course (KOC) Program provides tutoring, enrichment, parent engagement, summer learning and long-term mentoring opportunities. Programming begins with students in elementary school and follows them throughout their educational career, preparing them for post-secondary success and the opportunity to be a productive citizen.

Kids on Course supports students through four pillars:

  • Family Engagement (home visits, parent engagement strategies)
  • Address Barriers (weekend food bags, supporting access through transportation)
  • Support Student Learning (tutoring and summer school)
  • Enrichment (after school sports, arts, STEM experiences that tie to academic success)

Job Description: Work within the assigned high school to be a champion for students and help put them on a path to on time high school graduation. The job is different every day and demands a compassionate self-starter who is organized with impeccable time management skills.

  • Work with tutors to find root cause of academic struggles.
  • Refer student to outside resources, as needed.
  • Monitor student improvement throughout each learning lab session.

  • Collaborating with participating families, school building personnel and community partners.
  • Mentoring students.
  • Teaching students to learn to advocate for themselves through role modeling.
  • Working with and supervising tutors to develop learning strategies.
  • Encouraging students to attend tutoring or learning lab sessions.
  • Helping students to develop a plan to graduate on time.
  • Fostering student post-secondary success by giving them resources to create a plan for after graduation.
  • Seeing students as individuals and helping them create their own plan for on time high school graduation and beyond.
