Academic Coach

Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County • Mount Vernon, WA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

As an Academic Coach, you'll provide homework support while finding creative ways to make learning engaging and relevant. You'll use hands-on activities, technology, STEM, problem-solving, and other enrichment opportunities to help youth strengthen academic skills while discovering new interests. Just as importantly, you'll help youth learn how to work through challenges. Instead of simply providing an answer, you'll encourage them to ask questions, try another approach, build confidence, and recognize the progress they're making. You'll create a positive environment where youth feel comfortable being curious, making mistakes, and continuing to learn. You'll also collaborate with Club staff, families, schools, and community partners to help support student success. We're looking for someone who brings patience, creativity, and enthusiasm to the work-someone who can meet youth where they are while encouraging them to stretch a little further. If you'd enjoy helping young people turn an "I don't get it" into an "I figured it out," we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help youth build the curiosity, skills, and confidence they can carry with them in school and beyond.
