[2024-2026] College Success Fellow, KIPP Forward

Found in: Resume Library US A2 - 7 days ago

New York County New York, United States KIPP NYC Public Schools Full time
Job Description

Position Overview 

Between January 1 and March 31 each year, KIPP Forward accepts applications from exceptional recent or soon-to-be college graduates to join our two-year, near-peer College Success Fellows program. The College Success Fellows program is led by the Senior Director of College Success and Fellows report directly to a College Success Manager.

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.
