College Access Manager

The College Access Manager provides strategic admissions support by leading engaging workshops, group and individual coaching sessions, and offering asynchronous support for academically and personally motivated students from across the country. Additionally, the College Access Manager will have opportunities to leverage project management skills in supporting the planning and logistics of the College Access curriculum. Reporting to the Associate Director of College Access, the College Access Manager works closely with their fellow College Access Managers, as well as colleagues on the Scholar Recruitment, College Success, and Career Development teams. During the summer, the College Access Manager will be expected to travel to various Academy sites during a six-week span to provide on-the-ground support. There is also potential for travel for a few in-person events during the college application season.

At Thrive Scholars, we provide high-achieving students from under-resourced communities the opportunities they need to thrive at top colleges and in meaningful careers. Our comprehensive and data-driven program model focuses on the key inflection points that can be the difference between graduating from any college and graduating from a top college with the grades, degree, career skills, and network needed to thrive in any career. Thrive Scholars originated in Los Angeles as South Central Scholars ("SCS") twenty years ago. Over this time, the organization has refined its program model and, in the last five years, has focused on expanding nationally; reaching more high-achieving students from under-resourced communities, growing the number of Scholars we serve; and deepening our program impact. Thrive Scholars has begun to grow its footprint with new summer program offerings in three additional cities. The organization has approximately 75 year-round employees and close to 200 summer employees.
