Transition Coach (Year 1 - 2)

We connect our student with someone who can relate: a former college graduate who can share life experiences and give advice on successfully transitioning into college life. Coaches should have graduated college in the last 10 - 15 years and be able to support and guide students transitioning to college. Experience as a first-generation student is a plus.

How you helpWe pair our students with two Coach mentors over their college career. First, we connect our student with someone who can relate: a former college graduate who can share life experiences and give advice on successfully transitioning into college life. Transition coaches are paired with a student for their first two years of college. Next, we connect students with leaders in fields related to their majors - professionals who are well networked and adept at providing industry insights. Career coaches are paired with students for their second two years of college and help them transition into their career.
