The Rise Up Educational Access Program focuses on connecting youth and young adults (age 14-25) with higher educational opportunities while they also pursue employment. These opportunities may include community adult ESL classes, GED programs, and community college (JCTC). Intern will meet with young adults to assess their educational goals, connect young adults with educational resources to meet their goals, and help clients navigate the educational system. Intern may also plan and implement Super College Saturdays at local universities to help prepare students for higher education as well as the Teen Boost Summer Program. Reports to Rise Up Educational Access Coordinator. Available hours per week: 10-20.
Interns typically work for a semester or summer/winter term; applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
