Cornerstone-Graduate Gateway-Carrollton- Organization Dev

Graduate Gateway was founded in 2011 to alleviate poverty and homelessness through education. In an age of a fragile economy and heightened risks of poverty and homelessness, Graduate Gateway focuses its efforts and funding on education for disadvantaged youth so that they can sustain good lives through good jobs. By focusing on the impacts and causes of intergenerational poverty, we hope to enable the students who complete our program to sustain themselves financially and by doing so to bring families and ultimately communities out of poverty. We currently offer college scholarships to talented low income students who might not be able to attend college otherwise. We are excited to expand our programming through the help of our VISTAs to include a mentoring program and a financial literacy education program for our students. We are also excited to grow and strengthen our organization’s fundraising and communication so that we are able to positively impact more low-income students. The three VISTA members assigned to our organization will be indispensable to the growth of the future of Graduate Gateway. All VISTAs will report directly to the executive director and will work together in a highly collaborative and flexible environment. A bachelor’s degree is preferred though applicants with some college experience will be considered. These positions will be located at 1330 Capital Parkway, Carrollton, TX 75006, and the pay rate for each position will be $990 per month BEFORE taxes.
