POSITION

College Success Manager - Future Grads

OUR VISION

OUR CORE VALUES

Curiosity, Respect, Ownership, Ganas, Unity, Equity Organization Overview Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula (BGCP) proudly stands as the largest expanded learning provider in San Mateo County, dedicated to empowering 6,700 TK-College students across 30 sites from East Palo Alto to Daly City. We believe that talent is equally distributed across Silicon Valley, but opportunity is not, so we are committed to ensuring that socio‑economically disadvantaged students have equitable access to the opportunities that will help them thrive in school and beyond. Students benefit from high-quality academic programs, captivating enrichment activities, and access to critical mental health services. With support from our staff, Board, and broader Team BGCP community, we strive to make our community a great place for all kids to grow up. Position Overview The Future Grads Program is a post‑secondary success program that equips first‑generation students with the skills they need to overcome obstacles on their way to degree or certificate completion. While our program includes counseling on how to apply, complete financial aid forms and choose the right pathway, we also develop our students’ social and emotional skills, including how to ask for help, access resources, build support networks and maintain confidence. Future Grads supports its students to and through post‑secondary education. The College Success Manager will primarily serve students at partner high schools in North San Mateo County (Daily City, and South San Francisco). Flexibility and adaptability are essential, as this role may occasionally require travel to other school sites or clubhouses throughout all of San Mateo County. The College Success Manager will work with the high school team to provide the resources, support, tools and navigational skills students need to successfully pursue and complete a post‑secondary education. The College Success Manager will work with a caseload of high school senior students to help them with the application process for all post‑secondary pathways (bachelor’s degree, associates degree, career training, and military) and play a key role in ensuring seamless implementation of the Future Grads program. This program addresses the need for quality college advising in a community where few parents have historically attended college and where first‑generation youth are not receiving the services they need to achieve their post‑secondary goals.
