I went to the same college as both of my parents. There’s no doubt that this made my transition to college easier–I knew what I was getting into, and they knew what I was getting into. The statistics back this up. Students whose parents went to college are far more likely to graduate than first-generation college students. So how do we give these students the advantages and support that typically come with a parent or parents who went to college? New York Needs You is a non-profit that is taking a crack at it. They are aiming to enable “first-generation college students to realize their college and career ambitions” through an intensive fellowship program.
The Fellowship Program is just the first step in New York Needs You’s mission to break down “barriers to economic mobility for students with ambition and ability.” It’s a selective, two-year “1,000+ hour mentorship program focused on college and career success” and it’s now on its third class of Fellows (you can learn about each of them here). The next step is a Career Development Program at under-resourced colleges, and eventually they’d like to develop an online career training program for all college students. It’s a growth strategy that makes a lot of sense–learn from a high tough, low scalability program and then take what you learn to achieve scale with less touch. If you want to be part of that growth, take a look at New York Needs You’s Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Development Coordinator, and the position looks great for a new or recent grad. There’s also a call for a Technology Scaling Initiative Consultant that could be interesting for the right person.
