What We Do
College Possible is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit making college admission and success possible for low-income students through an intensive curriculum of coaching and support. Our organization has a variety of positions available! You could directly support low-income high school students as they study for the ACT/SAT, apply to college and secure financial aid. College Possible also has positions that assist those same students while they work towards a college degree.
Are you interested in a “behind-the-scenes” role? We have fundraising, communications, event-planning and other support positions available. For more information about all positions, please open the Service Descriptions attachment!
