The posting

College Counselor & Advisor

As our College Counselor & Advisor, you will help scholars navigate their postsecondary journeys with clarity, confidence, and purpose so that they can earn a bachelor's degree and lead lives of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power. Day to day, you will:

  1. Facilitate College Track's LEAD curriculum and college readiness workshops across five pillars (College Preparation, Career & Purpose, Social-Emotional Wellness, Academic Skills, and Financial Literacy), using culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices.
  2. Provide 1:1 college counseling and case management to a caseload of scholars, ensuring they complete key milestones including college visits, SAT/ACT, FAFSA, personal statements, scholarship applications, and final college decisions.
  3. Co-develop and maintain each scholar's Consolidated Education Plan (CEP) with the Academic Advisor, and partner with school counselors, teachers, families, and site teams to build a coordinated network of support.

To thrive in this job, you must:

  1. Have a 4-year college degree (advanced degree or college counseling certification preferred) and 3–5 years of experience in college access, youth development, school counseling, or a related field.
  2. Bring proven success delivering college readiness advising, including FAFSA completion, financial aid literacy, personal statement coaching, and enrollment decision-making.
  3. Demonstrate strong facilitation and curriculum delivery skills, with experience leading group-based workshops for high school youth.

College Track is a comprehensive college completion program that equips students from underserved communities to be the first in their families to graduate with a bachelor's degree. We do this by offering a holistic, asset-based program that invests in each of our scholars over 10 years: from high school to college, through the launch of their careers.

You'll know the College Counselor & Advisor role is the right fit if…

  • You are a fierce advocate for College Track's mission to equip scholars confronting systemic barriers to earn a bachelor's degree.
  • You build strong, trusting relationships with scholars and families that foster identity, agency, and high expectations.
  • You have a deep understanding of social-emotional development.
  • You analyze scholar data (GPA, college access milestones, workshop attendance) to guide individualized and group advising.
  • You have direct experience working with first-generation college-bound students (preferred).
  • You are willing to work occasional evenings and weekends aligned to key program milestones (e.g., FAFSA nights, college decision events).

Compensation and Benefits

This position is full-time, hourly role with a full hourly. The full compensation range for a College Counselor & Advisor in New Orleans is $29.81/hour - $36.30/hour with the exact compensation depending on experience.

College Track provides access to extensive benefits centered around three core areas of wellness: health care, work-life balance, and financial security.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
