College Bound AmeriCorps: Community College Coach - FT

Community College Coaches are there to support students in their enrollment and transition into St. Louis Community College, facilitate their academic and social adjustment, and connect them to on-campus resources and events. Coaches directly intervene in the development of strong academic habits and mindsets, track students’ academic and financial college profiles, and support students in developing skills of healthy decision-making. Core to College Bound’s mission and approach is strong relationships, which makes the coaching role, our presence on campus, and the community we work to build there, integral to our success. Throughout their service AmeriCorps Members will gain practical and relevant experience and receive professional development and training from industry professionals. They will also work closely with their supervisor to prepare for the next step in their professional and educational careers.
