Student Success Coach

City Year, an AmeriCorps program, helps students across schools succeed. Diverse teams
of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the
whole school, helping to ensure that students in systematically under-resourced schools
receive a high-quality education that prepares them with the skills and mindset to thrive
and contribute to their community

Role and responsibilities
Experience in all these tasks is not necessary. We provide 2-4 weeks of training at the beginning of the year to support you. Plus, you will work with partner teachers and school staff every step of the way.

proven strategies of learning, practicing, reflection and
repetition
• Collaborate with teachers and team members to collect,
record, analyze and monitor individual student progress,
participating in facilitated reviews of student data collected
and entered into City Year’s student data system
