**About KIPP NYC**:
KIPP NYC Public Schools is a non-profit network of free, public charter schools that prepares students for success in college and life. In 1995 we started our first middle school, KIPP Academy, in The Bronx. Our goal was to graduate students with the strength of character and academic abilities needed to succeed in high school, college and beyond - and in so doing, to prove what is possible for all students. Today, our New York City network is comprised of eight elementary schools, nine middle schools, one high school, and KIPP Forward, a comprehensive support program for our alumni. KIPP NYC Public Schools currently serves more than 9,350 students and alumni, has a staff of more than 1,000, and continues to grow
**About KIPP Forward Postsecondary Success Collaborative**:
KIPP Forward works with graduates of KIPP, Achievement First, and a growing number of other select high school-serving organizations, to empower them for success in college and their careers. We leverage our collective knowledge, experience, scale, and networks to develop breakthrough college and career strategies that dramatically improve post-secondary outcomes for our students and communities. Together we aim to achieve the following goals:
- Help more students from low-income families persist in and graduate from college
- Help those who don’t earn a BA secure a credential in an in-demand industry
- Help all - those with a BA or a credential - transition to a strong first job and improve pathways to economic mobility.
**Position Overview**
As full-time employees with a salary of $58,500 and full benefits, Fellows work passionately and tirelessly to ensure that recent graduates of our partner high schools receive outstanding support through their first two years of college, with the ultimate goal that they persist and accumulate 60 credits to stay on track for on-time degree completion. Throughout their two-year commitment, Fellows engage in regular training by skilled college and career success practitioners and receive consistent and direct feedback that helps them grow their professional skills.
Fellows provide transformational coaching, mentorship and direct support to alumni in college through 1:1 advisement sessions on their campuses and touchpoints in between. Fellows assess the progress of our alumni towards college completion through our innovative “Persistence Benchmarks” which measures financial health, academic habits and planning, socio-emotional health, and career planning. Through these consistent touchpoints and assessments, Fellows perform transformational coaching interventions to ensure our alumni make positive progress in all areas.
Given college and career success work involves meeting with our alumni at their respective colleges, this position is a field position and requires frequent travel. Fellows will be assigned to a placement region for the length of the two year fellowship and will visit a set of schools within 3 hours driving distance of that region (all work-related transportation costs will be paid for by KIPP Forward). When applying, 2024 College Success Fellows will be offered the ability to select their preferences amongst these placement regions, and our program will seek to meet preferences as much as possible:
- NY: Albany, New York City, Western NY (Syracuse/Rochester/Buffalo)
- NJ: Newark or Camden/Philadelphia
- PA: Philadelphia/Camden
- CT: Hartford or New Haven
- MA: Boston Area
The 2024 College Success Fellowship is a two-year (twenty-four months) commitment from July 15, 2024 through June 30, 2026. At the end of the Fellowship, employment with KIPP NYC terminates.
