Position Summary

Michigan College Access Network (MCAN), in close partnership with Michigan colleges and universities, seeks to help more Michigan students pursue postsecondary education. MCAN's College Completion Corps places full-time AmeriCorps members on community college and other college campuses to supplement campus efforts to increase persistence and completion of first-generation college-going students, low-income students, and students of color.

This is a grant-funded position that aims to address inequities in student success.

Members will serve as coaches to a defined cohort of 100--150 students over the course of a year, guiding students through the development of a college completion plan and assisting with navigation of an academic year. Working in partnership with professional campus staff, coaches will organize learning sessions for small groups, coordinate one-on-one meetings with students, and provide reminders of key activities, such as course registration deadlines and FAFSA completion workshops, through technology prompts.

The purpose of this program is to assist students with their acclimation to campus, build their knowledge of campus systems and resources, and help them successfully persist to completion. Coaches will receive robust training in all areas; no previous experience is necessary.

In their role, coaches also receive extensive professional development to help them determine the next step in their own career path.
