Our Returner Coaches
As a College Possible Returner AmeriCorps Coach, you recognize that one year just isn't enough. By returning for a second year of service, you'll build on the skills and relationships you've made in your first year to help ensure that our students continue to benefit from College Possible.
What You'll Do
As a valued member of the College Possible community, we recognize that Returner AmeriCorps Coaches play a pivotal role in the success of the students we serve. As a College Possible/College Forward alum or currently serving AmeriCorps Coach, you understand how challenging and rewarding a year of service can be. You have helped students prepare and succeed in college and in this role, you are uniquely positioned to continue to support all students and ensure they have the skills to achieve their postsecondary goals. The opportunity to serve another year is an incredible step toward your professional future. To build on your experience and make a positive impact in students' lives, a Returner AmeriCorps Coach can choose from the following roles at our site:
Lead College Access and College Success Returner is a rewarding experience that contributes to an individual's professional development and growth as a leader. In addition to serving students, the Lead Returner is expected to demonstrate increasing competency in your role over the course of the year and efficiently engage with the corps. Lead Returner Coaches receive preference for program and school site placement in addition to exposure to leadership opportunities.
College Access and College Success Returner Coach service positions focus on coaching and supporting high school juniors, high school seniors, or current college students who are seeking to earn a college degree. You will be matched as either a high school coach who supports students in understanding, applying, and attending the college of their dreams or a college coach who assists with supporting students in persisting through and graduating from college. High school coaches will serve primarily inside a partner high school, coaching a caseload of high school juniors and/or seniors as they explore college opportunities and complete the college application process.
College coaches will serve either remote, or on a specific college campus. Remote college coaches meet by phone, online messaging, and virtual personal meetings to support students in successfully matriculating through college; assisting in tasks like choosing the correct classes, reapplying for the financial aid and scholarships, college success skill-building, and addressing specific student needs as they arise.
