Afterschool Program Associate - San Francisco, United States - Schools, Mentoring, And Resource Team, Inc (SMART, INC)

Description

About SMART

SMART (Schools, Mentoring and Resource Team, Inc.) champions education equity by supporting students in overcoming systemic barriers on their journey to a college degree.

We envision a community with equitable pathways to college graduation for every student in San Francisco.

SMART provides a unique twelve-year continuum of support that starts in 4th grade and extends through college, including school support, after-school enrichment, summer programming, college prep, and college persistence support.

As a result, SMART Scholars are more than four times more likely to graduate college when compared to their peers.

Furthermore, while only 21% of low-income students who enter college will graduate within six years, SMART Scholars are currently persisting at a rate of more than 80%.

SMART's Values:

• Community: We build a community that celebrates diversity, thrives on teamwork, and appreciates everyone's contributions. Through community, we are stronger.
• Equity: We are committed to systems and processes that are just, fair, and inclusive, enabling all people the opportunity to belong, participate, and reach their full potential.
• Empowerment: We believe the path to empowerment and selfadvocacy is through the encouragement, support, and guidance of those around us.
• Learning: We believe education and lifelong learning enhance our understanding of our world, our place within it, and provide the tools to change it. Through embracing challenges and learning opportunities, we make progress.
• Joy: We center joy in our community and practice. We view joy as an act of liberation, which unleashes creativity, strengthens relationships, and propels the work that we do.
