The University of Notre Dame (ND.jobs) is accepting applications for a Upward Bound Advisor.
Applications will be accepted until 1/3/2023.
Launched in 1966 by Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., the University of Notre Dame's Upward Bound (UB) is one of the oldest and most successful college preparatory programs of its kind in the nation. Through intensive academic support and exposure to the college-going experience, Upward Bound equips South Bend high school students to enter and succeed in higher education.
Upward Bound offers students 20 weeks of individualized tutoring and instruction in core subjects during the school year. Weekly instruction occurs in after-school academic enrichment sessions on the Notre Dame campus. Sessions are organized based on grade level and individual academic needs. These sessions also utilize project-based learning to capture students' interests-applying classroom knowledge to interesting and relevant, real-world problems.
Students receive academic advising and participate in weekly workshops, which combine to supply them with the skills and information needed to prepare for, apply to, and succeed in college-including effective study skills, SAT and ACT preparation, the college admissions process, as well as financial literacy and student financial aid.
College tours and a variety of other activities are also offered to connect students to valuable cultural, educational, and career-focused events.
