The UW Dream Project is hiring College & Career Readiness Assistants (CCRA) for the 2019-2020 academic year.
CCRAs are placed at a local middle or high school for the academic year and work 12 hours a week alongside a College/Career Counselor. CCRA interns will support and deepen the work of the current Dream Project mentorship model and support partner school College and Career Counselors in targeting and supporting high school and middle school students with multiple college readiness indicators.
Typical work includes: support on college applications, FAFSA/WAFSA completion, resume development, career readiness, transition to high school, field trip planning, College Bound sign up, college & career fair planning, etc. The day to day work of the CCRA intern varies depending on the needs and priorities of the school placement site (complete list of our school partners can be found on page 4 of the job description).
This internship is a unique opportunity for interns to gain direct service experience working with youth in the public education system. Specifically, interns will support traditionally underserved students in navigating barriers to post-secondary education opportunities. Interns will also learn about some of the realities, complexities and challenges that students, families, school staff and administrators face in their day-to-day work and environments.
