About The Position

Warrior-Scholar Project (WSP) seeks a seasonal Mobile Training Team (MTT) Lead Fellow for summer 2027. WSP partners with colleges and universities to provide intensive, one-week college-preparatory boot camps for enlisted veterans and transitioning service members in Humanities, STEM, and Business, along with additional programming for alumni. This role is open only to WSP alumni who have previously served as Fellows; preference is given to those who served in the 2025 or 2026 boot camp seasons.

Lead Fellows perform the same core responsibilities as Fellows while additionally supervising and managing MTT team members. They lead their team in the programmatic and logistical delivery of boot camps, facilitate academic discussions, mentor participants, coordinate with WSP staff and campus stakeholders, and complete administrative and course-related tasks. WSP provides training, curriculum resources, and ongoing support. The position is hourly and non-exempt, with a rate of $26.50 per hour and estimated summer earnings of $8,500 to $11,000, depending on assignments, hours, and other program responsibilities. Qualifying travel may also be eligible for per diem under WSP policy.

The role is remote outside program-related travel and in-person duties. Fellows are expected to be available from mid-April to mid-August 2027, attend mandatory in-person training in late May, and work in person from late May to mid-August. Fellows attend three to four 1.5-week courses and travel to each location. They must stay in provided campus housing during courses and be available between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on course days; actual working hours vary and regular breaks are provided. Up to 10 hours of paid asynchronous preparation work begins at the end of April. Travel and lodging for mandatory training are provided by WSP.
