The posting

Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned College Preparatory Program Coordinator to support the College Success Office.

The College Success Office (CSO) provides year-round academic, administrative, and emotional support, as well as financial and career preparation, to participants in HCZ’s Promise Academy high schools and afterschool programs. Our mission is to ensure our participants have the resources and guidance they need to succeed in college and beyond. The main components of the CSO include: scholar outreach, academic support and guidance, financial aid advisement, college transfer assistance, summer and winter internship opportunities, and community building efforts within our program.

We are currently seeking two College Prep Program Coordinators, one for our Promise Academy scholars and another for our Zone After-School Programs. The College Preparatory Program Coordinators provide leadership, supervision, and strategic oversight for the College Preparatory Program team serving HCZ’s Promise Academy scholars or the team serving our Zone After-School programs. The Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the successful implementation of college preparation, college access, matriculation, and postsecondary transition programming by supervising a team of College Preparatory Program Counselors and establishing best practices across either Promise Academy or the Zone After-School programs.

The ideal candidate is an experienced college access professional with demonstrated success in staff supervision, program development, cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. This individual will lead initiatives that promote a strong college-going culture, strengthen scholar and family engagement, and increase postsecondary enrollment and persistence outcomes for HCZ scholars.
