Success Coach/Mentor

EDGE 21 is a multigenerational coaching program for eligible 21st Century Scholars to embolden them through middle and high school into a post-secondary education. The desired outcome is to empower each student to be self-sufficient adults and to be servant leaders in their communities.

EDGE 21 success coaches embolden the character of students and 21st Century Scholars through mentoring, counseling, and growing spiritually. As a success coach, you are expected to facilitate weekly meetings with a group of high school students and build meaningful relationships with them by sharing authentic experiences. Weekly huddles involve using Franklin Covey’s program “habits of highly successful teens” as a guide and helping students complete their college readiness goals. Success coaches support students through their high school experience, help them reach them their personal and academic goals, and lay the foundation for post-secondary success.
