● Relationship Building: Build positive and lasting relationships with students and families as well with high schools, colleges and scholarship organizations. Maintains consistent communication with students & families regarding college and financial aid options.
● College Access: Supports KIPP alumni and families through the college application and financial aid process, and accurately reports progress towards high school graduation and college match goals. ● Project Management: Completes annual event planning for class cohorts and manages special projects to support students through pre-college summer programs, scholarship opportunities, and any KIPP Foundation initiative.
