Schuler Scholar Program

AmeriCorps Math Scholar Coaches needed! 

The Schuler Scholar Program is a non-profit organization based in nine partnership high schools in the northern suburbs and the city of Chicago. The SSP prepares students who are bright and motivated, but underserved, to succeed at the most competitive colleges and universities. Schuler Scholars are typically first-generation college-bound, come from under-resourced families and communities, and will need financial assistance in order to attend college. Many Scholars are from a population that is under-represented on college campuses.

We believe that high-achieving but vulnerable students will be successful in obtaining a college degree if they are motivated, have access to academic and enrichment programs while in high school, are well informed of college options, receive support from a wide network, and secure financial assistance.

We are in search of high achieving recent college graduates to serve as AmeriCorps Math Scholar Coaches.  Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to: monitor Scholar progress in math and science, provide assistance to Scholars in math and sciences, manage math online enrichment programs, facilitate math and science after school programs,  chaperone college visits, and plan Scholar outings.   Overall, our Scholar Coaches are invaluable members of our team and act as mentors to our Scholars.
