Job Title: College Counseling Manager
Role Type: Full Time
Starting Salary: $52,000
Start Date: June 1, 2024 (or upon hiring)
Reporting To: Director of College Counseling
Overview
The college counseling manager (CCM) is an uncommonly hardworking, resourceful individual who’s passionate about helping BRYC’s Senior Fellows (12th-graders) pursue best-fit post-high school pathways. Strong candidates have experience guiding students and families through the college admissions, financial aid, and transition/matriculation processes. Above all, the CCM understands that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds face disproportionate barriers in college admissions, and therefore they are relentless in breaking these barriers so BRYC Fellows can maximize the full benefits of postsecondary degrees.
Duties
- Plan & facilitate electric evening programs
Three evenings per week, from 4:30-7:30pm, the CCM will facilitate Senior College Workshop, a program in which BRYC’s ~100 seniors (not all at once) complete college process work alongside designated mentors. The CCM will manage a cohort of ~30 seniors, which includes making individualized college and scholarship recommendations. - Provide robust support outside of program
The CCM will closely monitor the progress of Fellows in their cohort, identifying and responding effectively to Fellows’ academic and socioemotional needs, and communicating proactively with guardians, mentors, and BRYC team members. - Build strong senior class culture
The CCM will be the heartbeat of our Senior Fellow community, building connections with Fellows, mentors, and guardians to foster a culture in which there is shared pride and purpose around the college process and BRYC experience as a whole. - Coordinate special initiatives
The CCM will help plan and lead special initiatives like the senior retreat, college tours, college information panels, and college process-specific events (e.g., FAFSA night).
