Organization Overview
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula (BGCP) proudly stands as the largest expanded learning provider in San Mateo County, dedicated to empowering 6,700 TK-College students across 30 sites from East Palo Alto to Daly City. We believe that talent is equally distributed across Silicon Valley, but opportunity is not, so we are committed to ensuring that socio-economically disadvantaged students have equitable access to the opportunities that will help them thrive in school and beyond. Students benefit from high-quality academic programs, captivating enrichment activities, and access to critical mental health services. With support from our staff, Board, and broader Team BGCP community, we strive to make our community a great place for all kids to grow up.
Position Overview
The Post-Secondary Success Manager will work in the Future Grads program with post-secondary students to provide the resources, support, tools and navigational skills they need to successfully complete higher education/post-secondary training. Future Grads starts at the high school level supporting students with post-secondary planning and prep and continues during post-secondary to complete education and training while doing career development. Beginning this summer, the Post-Secondary Success Manager will work with a caseload of rising post secondary students at various higher education institutions and vo-tech programs to help them navigate their education or training, and play a key role to ensure seamless implementation of the postsecondary Future Grads program. This program addresses the need for quality post-secondary advising in a community where few parents have historically attended college and where first-generation students are not receiving the services they need to achieve their postsecondary goals.
