Beyond 12 coaches are “near peers,'' who have recently completed college themselves, and many are the first in their families to graduate from college. Our students often share that they are relieved to talk to someone who can relate to their experiences and who has overcome many of the same challenges they are facing.Our coaches work with students virtually; they do not meet with them in person. Not only do our coaches help students navigate the structural barriers that stand in the way of their success, but they also help them strengthen their resilience, self-efficacy, engagement, and connection.
We hire our coaches year-round and they undergo an extensive process that includes individual and group interviews. We seek candidates who can relate to the experiences of our students and who have a background in supporting underrepresented students through student support services, mentoring, teaching, or other programs.
