College and Career Readiness Coaches will work one on one with a high school senior to support them through the application process for a four-year, two-year or vocational school. Throughout the fall semester, Coaches will work closely with their student to help complete important college application and financial aid milestones. During the spring semester, Coaches help with financial aid forms, scholarship application, and enrollment forms. Coaches also work with students on a variety of hard and soft skills to support their students level of workforce development. Coaches continue to provide encouragement and light-touch support to students through occasional check-ins by email, phone, and text throughout their first year of post-secondary education.
All volunteers will receive initial training and continued support from our staff. Coaches will be provided with resources and a guiding curriculum to follow with the students, and staff will also be on hand during workshop time to provide additional support and training.
