Make a Local Impact. One Family at a Time.

Do you love chatting with other parents at school events, community fairs, or coffee shops? Ever found yourself offering advice about college planning or wishing families had better guidance before making expensive decisions?

In this role with Our Client, you’ll become a trusted, local resource for families navigating college and career planning. This role blends relationship-building, community presence, and lead generation, all centered on helping families make confident, informed choices.

This isn’t about pushing college. It’s about sharing a smarter, career-first approach to one of the biggest investments a family makes. This is an hourly commission role.

What You’ll Do

  • Generate and nurture leads by building a strong local pipeline through conversations, events, referrals, and community outreach.
  • Prospect and network with parents, schools, nonprofits, youth organizations, and local businesses to expand Pathfinders’ presence and partnerships.
  • Engage parents one-on-one and in group settings, serving as a trusted guide and starting meaningful conversations about college and career planning.
  • Build and maintain community partnerships that create long-term visibility and opportunities for Pathfinders.
  • Serve as a local ambassador, representing Pathfinders at school events, community fairs, fundraisers, and parent gatherings.
  • Plan, host, and attend in-person events and tabling opportunities, including “Coffee and College,” workshops, and sponsored community events.
  • Develop and manage a local engagement pipeline, tracking connections and following up with interested families.
  • Use newsletters, social media, and outreach tools to keep families informed, engaged, and connected.
  • Provide feedback and insight to help shape how Pathfinders grows and connects locally—your voice matters.

You’ll Thrive In This Role If You

  • Reside in OH, NC, CO, MI, GA, TX
  • Are seeking a hourly commission based role
  • Are a natural connector who enjoys starting conversations and building trust.
  • Feel comfortable with lead generation, follow-up, and relationship management, even if you don’t consider yourself “salesy.”
  • Have high schoolers of your own and understand the real stress, confusion, and emotion around college planning.
  • Enjoy being out in the community and representing a mission you believe in.
  • Want flexible, part-time work that’s purpose-driven and personally rewarding.
  • Are organized, proactive, and motivated by making a real difference for families.

Flexible Hours. Real Impact. Community-Driven.

Pathfinders has helped families save over $120 million in college costs by focusing on career-first planning that makes sense financially and emotionally. This role gives you the opportunity to bring that message directly to families who need it, before costly mistakes are made.

Let’s make college planning clearer, smarter, and more affordable.
