College Bound St. Louis - College Preparation Coach
 
 
 
College Bound St. Louis is an award-winning college preparation and persistence program. Our mission is to provide promising high school and college students from under-resourced backgrounds with the academic enrichment, social supports, and life skills needed to get to and through college. Since our founding in 2006, we have succeeded in helping 100 percent of our graduating high school seniors earn admission to a four-year college and helping them graduate at 5 times the rate of their peers! At College Bound, we are proud to be a place where going the extra mile for our students is the norm, people's opinions and input are valued, and relationships are vital to everything we do. As one College Bounder put it, "The work environment, staff, and students at College Bound are matched by nothing else I've ever experienced. I love the relationships with my fellow staff -- we are genuinely family. As cliche as it may seem, we share the laughs and the tears all of the time." College Bound's success is measured by the success of our students, which includes their academic as well as social and emotional growth! On top of our students' incredible graduation rates, they're learning how to succeed as students in new college communities. Former AmeriCorps Coach and current College Completion Manager, Jen Van Schuyer, spoke of her experience with the collegians: "I love being able to stand behind our students and help guide them to shining on their own. There is no better feeling than when you've poured time and energy into someone else and see it pay off with them taking off and setting an example for others."

Member Duties : AmeriCorps College Prep Coaches will work directly with high school students in hybrid-mentor-advisor-classroom roles to support them in gaining access to college. While serving students inside the classroom, coaches will help implement a college preparation curriculum focused on guiding students through college acceptance & preparing them for college success. Outside of the classroom, Coaches lead students in community service projects, cultural engagements, and social events. We want to support our students not just academically, but socially & emotionally as well. Core to College Bound’s approach with our students is building strong relationships with them; we believe no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. Furthermore, we believe in equipping our AmeriCorps Members with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their roles as well as the professional development & mentorship needed to succeed in roles after they’ve completed their service.
