About The Position

Student Success & Graduation is expanding its peer mentorship program, which is led by trained peer mentors known as Cowboy Coaches. Cowboy Coaches assist students in finding their community, connecting with resources, and achieving their academic objectives. To support students in achieving these successes at UW, applicants must have completed two full semesters at UW before serving as a Cowboy Coach. Students in these roles receive a competitive hourly wage and have opportunities to participate in various paid professional development activities. Cowboy Coaches are expected to work approximately 8-15 hours per week throughout the academic year. They are also required to serve as Poke Pack Leaders for Saddle Up, the week-long freshman orientation program. Overtime opportunities are available during this week. Additionally, with the guidance and support of professional staff, Cowboy Coaches collaborate with various campus partners to host, manage, and support a range of campus events and initiatives. Student Success & Graduation is committed to addressing the diverse needs of its students. To ensure personalized and effective guidance, Cowboy Coaches are assigned to student cohorts based on academic programs that align with students' majors and minors. Coach assignments are determined by the specific needs of campus units and programs at the time of placement. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling, as-needed basis in accordance with those evolving needs. This application should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. It is recommended to use your UW email address when applying. After submission, you will be contacted to schedule an interview via the email provided in your application. Please respond to the scheduling email within one week to arrange your interview. Failure to respond within a week will result in the assumption that you are no longer interested in the position, and you will be removed from consideration.
