College Possible Omaha

Our Returner Coaches

Returning AmeriCorps Coaches at College Possible are seasoned leaders who bring a wealth of experience and mastery to their roles. As peer leaders, they provide guidance and mentorship to new coaches, helping them navigate the complexities of their positions and develop the skills necessary for success. With a deep understanding of the College Possible model, returners are able to model best practices in coaching, communication, and student engagement, setting a high standard for others to follow.

In addition to their leadership responsibilities, returning coaches are critical to the continued growth and impact of the program. They are experts in managing caseloads, designing and facilitating workshops, and implementing strategies that drive student success. As role models, they inspire both new coaches and students by demonstrating commitment, resilience, and a passion for service. Their experience ensures that they are not only effective in their individual contributions but also invaluable resources for building a strong, collaborative team culture within the College Possible community.

Returner AmeriCorps Access Coach Responsibilities

  3. Share relevant information regarding activities, accomplishments, and challenges with program staff via regular reporting and/or meetings.
