About The Position

BEAM hires for several summer roles across its program sites. Counselors/Teaching Assistants have academic and non-academic responsibilities, serving as role models and mentors, leading daily activities, and assisting with mathematics courses by guiding students through challenging problems, supporting instructors, and providing feedback. Faculty guide students as they discover new fields of mathematics through small, highly interactive classes, with a teaching assistant supporting instruction. Guidance Counselors provide social and emotional support, spend most non-academic time with students, run activities, and coordinate with Counselors, the Director of Student Life, and the Site Director. Health Directors/Nurses provide medical support to students as needed; BEAM typically hires both full-time and part-time nurses depending on site needs.

BEAM's summer programs serve students from low-income, low-access backgrounds. BEAM Discovery is a five-week day camp for rising seventh graders in Los Angeles and New York City. BEAM Summer Away is a three-week program on a college campus in Southern California or Upstate New York for students after seventh grade. BEAM is committed to nondiscrimination and to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. It is an equal opportunity employer and makes personnel decisions based on equal employment opportunity principles and valid job-related requirements.
