GEAR UP Partnership Coordinator

Concord University seeks a creative and enthusiastic team member to serve as Partnership Coordinator for the GEAR UP Southern West Virginia (SWV) Partnership grant serving five school districts, Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, Summers and Wyoming County Schools.

The GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) Partnership is funded by the US Department of Education to increase the college-going rate of low-income secondary school students in these school systems.

 GEAR UP provides training and support for administrators and teachers at secondary schools with a majority of low-income students and support and assistance directly to students to enhance preparation for post-secondary education. 

This is a twelve-month, full-time position, contingent upon continued external funding.
