Social Coach (Part-time)
About The Position
College Living Experience (CLE) is a comprehensive college support program for neurodiverse young adults, including students with autism, ADHD, and learning differences. Students attend local colleges while receiving individualized support in academic success, career development, social engagement, and independent living skills. Through mentorship, coaching, and real-world learning experiences, our team helps students build the skills needed to live independently and pursue meaningful adult lives. We are seeking a Social Coach to support students as they develop confidence navigating friendships, social environments, and community life. In this role, you will build supportive mentoring relationships with students while helping them practice real-world social skills in authentic environments. Social coaching sessions are designed to be friendly, engaging, and collaborative while helping students develop the skills needed to build relationships, navigate social situations, and feel more comfortable in their communities. One day you might be helping a student plan how to attend a campus event or social activity. Another day you might be exploring the community together, helping a student practice conversation skills, or facilitating a group activity with other students. Our students are a wonderfully diverse group of people — artists, gamers, writers, athletes, music lovers, and students discovering new interests for the first time. A big part of the role is helping students connect with their interests while building friendships and social confidence.
