ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH NEW YORK

Breakthrough New York empowers motivated students from low-income communities to achieve a college degree and reach their fullest potential. Our tuition-free program supports over 500 students and their families from 7th grade through college. We accept middle school students who are furthest from high-quality educational opportunities yet show promise and potential: 99% of students identify as persons of color; 76% qualify for free or reduced lunch; and 66% will be the first in their families to graduate college.

As a ten-year program, Breakthrough New York supports students and their families through key transition points in their academic journeys. We provide academic enrichment through summer and after-school opportunities; coach students to gain admissions into selective high schools and colleges, and expose students to diverse interests and careers so they can shape their own trajectories.

In addition to nurturing individual talent, we cultivate a thriving community of like-minded peers and mentors who encourage each other’s ambitions and passions. Personalized mentorship and holistic support are signature elements of our model, with over 200 near-peer seasonal staff and volunteers who work with students at each stage of our continuum.

The Breakthrough model works: 94% of Breakthrough students enroll in college preparatory high schools, and 97% are on track to graduate from college in four-six years. Learn more at Breakthrough New York's website.

ABOUT THE POSITION

As the Manager of the College and Career Success Program, you will drive the work that ensures students are fully supported as they transition into, persist through, and successfully graduate from college. This will require working with the Senior Director of College Access and Success to set a clear strategic vision and implement a robust plan for postsecondary student support. Particular attention should be paid to the transition from high school to college; the key milestones to ensure students are on track to graduate; and supporting the selection, training, and development of seasonal staff.

Additionally, this role will work closely with the Development team to leverage key external stakeholders in developing a career exposure program, designed to help launch students into fulfilling careers through internships, workshops/bootcamps, networking opportunities and more. Your effort will be crucial in ensuring that students not only successfully matriculate through their college experiences, but also develop the professional skills and exposure to support their future endeavors.
