What are Scholar Coaches?

Scholar Coaches are educational professionals or trained mentors who work one-on-one or in small groups with students to provide academic support, mentorship, and guidance. They often help students improve their study habits, set academic goals, and overcome learning obstacles. Scholar Coaches may work in schools, tutoring centers, or nonprofit organizations, focusing on increasing students' academic achievement and personal development. Their role is to encourage and empower students to succeed in their educational journeys.

How does a Scholar Coach typically collaborate with teachers and school staff to support student success?

Scholar Coaches work closely with teachers and school staff by sharing insights on students’ academic progress, coordinating tutoring sessions, and participating in regular meetings to discuss student needs. They often collaborate to identify students who could benefit most from additional support and help tailor interventions to individual learning styles. This teamwork ensures that academic strategies are aligned and that students receive consistent encouragement and guidance across all aspects of their education.

Job description

Company Description
Jersey Cares Vision- We envision a New Jersey in which everyone is motivated and empowered to make a positive difference.
Jersey Cares Mission- As a leader in volunteerism in New Jersey, Jersey Cares increases the level of meaningful volunteer engagement by creating and managing efficient, impactful projects that address critical community-identified needs.
ServiceWorks - powered by AmeriCorps, the Citi Foundation and Jersey Cares - is a groundbreaking, national program that uses volunteer service as a strategy to help 25,000 low-income youth and young adults in 10 cities develop the skills they need to prepare for college and careers. Jersey Cares is one of ten nationwide host sites for this initiative. The program, which will deploy more than 200 AmeriCorps members over three years, will engage young adults or "Service Scholars," aged 16-24, in service and build a large-scale volunteer response to the crisis of low college and career attainment.
Job Description
Success Coaches are experienced professionals or community members who volunteer to engage in group coaching and/or one-on-one mentoring with under-resourced young adults who we call Service Scholars. The Success Coach will assist Service Scholars in completing a college and/or career-readiness plan by identifying SMART goals and creating a corresponding action plan. Success Coaches will also serve as accountability partners to help Service Scholars track progress against and achieve their personal goals.
Qualifications
• Possess a desire to learn coaching concepts and to support under-resourced youth.
• Have good interpersonal communications skills.
• Encourage group bonding and peer support among assigned Service Scholars.
• Ignite the Service Scholars' own thought processes to identify solutions and actions through questioning techniques and exposure to information/resources.
• Observe, listen and ask questions to understand each Service Scholar's situation.
• Potential candidates will be interviewed prior to being selected and must pass the required background check.
Additional Information
This position is a volunteer position to support under-served youth ages 16-24 in either a high school or job training/GED situation in Newark. The scholars can be mentored via Skype, telephone, conference call, group chat, text or other means although we recommend you meet them in person during the course of the mentoring process.
