What are the responsibilities and job description for the Prepping for College and Career Workshop Facilitator position at Summer Springboard?
The Opportunity
Are you a dynamic leader who knows how to command a room? Summer Springboard is seeking a Workshop Facilitator to lead high-impact, interactive sessions for motivated high school students for our program on the campus of Vanderbilt this summer.
We are hiring for our Prepping for College & Career workshop: facilitating practical college admissions guidance while helping students prepare for their academic and professional futures. This opportunity is ideal for individuals who are passionate about mentoring students and have experience in college readiness, academic advising, youth development, or career preparation.
This is not a traditional teaching gig. We don't do "sage on a stage" lectures. Instead, you will guide students through a fast-paced, 90-minute experience where they do the thinking, discussing, and deciding.
The Curriculum (Zero Lesson Planning)
We respect your time. The curriculum, slide decks, and simulation materials are 100% prepared and provided. Your role is to bring the content to life through expert facilitation and real-time coaching.
Workshop Highlights
- Foundational Skills: Moving students from "theoretical" leadership to practical application.
- Active Participation: Facilitators teach by "cueing and questioning" rather than explaining.
- Live Simulations: Lead students through pressure-filled scenarios where they must make real-time leadership decisions.
- Values Discovery: Help students identify their core values and a concrete leadership behavior to practice beyond the program.
Who You Are
- The Facilitator: You have a background in corporate training, executive coaching, higher education, or professional development.
- The Energy: You know how to keep 15-18 year olds engaged for 90 minutes through high-energy interaction.
- The Guide: You are comfortable "leading from the back"—allowing students to struggle with decisions before guiding them to the "aha" moment.
- The Professional: You are reliable and excited to represent Summer Springboard on a prestigious college campus.
