Student Success Coach

Hope Chicago is seeking to hire an additional Student Success Coaches (SSCs) to join our growing program team and the four SSCs already on staff. Under the supervision and support of the assigned Program Manager, and in collaboration with school staff and partners, SSCs are responsible for supporting high school students’ preparation for and navigation of their post-secondary opportunities. Working with students in one-on-one and group settings, SSCs help students develop their plans for after high school graduation, access the available financial support from Hope Chicago and other aid, and make a best-fit decision for their post-secondary future.

A successful candidate must have a personal and professional commitment to equitable access to learning opportunities for young people and adults alike, with a particular focus on communities that have been underestimated and lacked investment. SSCs must believe that pathways to postsecondary educational attainment can empower people of all ages to create socio-economic mobility for themselves, their families and entire communities, and have an unwavering belief in students, particularly those who may not believe college is attainable for them.
