Job description

Description

ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH SUMMERBRIDGE AND THE COLLEGE ACCESS PROGRAM

Founded in 1978 at San Francisco University High School, Breakthrough Summerbridge (BTSB) is an intensive academic enrichment and advocacy program. Through our middle school programming, we prepare ambitious students from under-resourced circumstances to enter and thrive in well-matched high schools, for the purpose of securing admission to, succeeding in, and graduating from college. More recently, we have expanded our programming, through the creation of our College Access Program, to include high schoolers. 

The Breakthrough Summerbridge College Access Program (CAP) is a four-year (9th-12th grade) college access enrichment program that broadens access to information and resources regarding college admissions for BTSB students who have successfully completed our middle school program. CAP works directly with students and families as an additional resource for college preparedness and admissions.

This is a part-time role that combines synchronous work (facilitating in-person student-facing workshops and other programming, meeting individually with students and families, attending meetings and check-ins), with independent, project-based work (creating and updating resources, preparing for workshops, doing student/family outreach, tracking student outcomes and data).
