General Summary:
As the university’s longest-running pre-collegiate program, TRIO Upward Bound provides its high school participants (aged 13-19) with the skills and motivation necessary for successful completion of high school and entry into and completion of post-secondary education. Year-round programming includes college-preparatory academic courses, tutorials, college advising, career awareness activities, social-emotional skill-building, and cultural enrichment. The most intensive aspect of the program year, the six-week summer component, is preceded by one week of staff orientation and is run by the program’s administrative staff (Director of Programs, Associate Director, College Access Coordinator, and Student Counselor/Recruiter). The summer program takes place on a residential campus and runs each week from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon. As they progress through the program, many Upward Bound students take college courses at UMass Boston and/or participate in paid career internships. Upward Bound currently serves 126 students who attend the following partner Boston Public high schools: Burke, Dearborn STEM Academy, Excel, and Madison Park.
The Associate Director will be responsible for developing and implementing program curricula. The incumbent will be responsible also for the recruitment, screening, selection, and intake of program participants and will meet with a caseload of program participants to provide holistic coaching and academic guidance regarding their secondary school progress, college and career goals, and postsecondary entry. In consultation with the Director of Programs, the Associate Director will plan and implement the summer program, including selecting, training, and supervising program teachers, tutors and teaching assistants and facilitating orientations for staff, students, and parents. In the absence of the Director of Programs, the Associate Director will assume responsibility during the summer for program operations, including staff supervision, and for the safety and well-being of the 60 student attendees. During the summer, the incumbent will teach a course section. The Associate Director will plan, implement and chaperone academic, career, and cultural field trips and activities and in collaboration with other program staff, will promote and report on program events. S/he will assist the Director of Programs with the collection of program data and the submission of regular program reports.
