Position Overview

As a Phoenix Start-Up Service Leader, you will support ASU City Year Student Success Coaches as a role model and mentor, while continuing to coach and mentor elementary and high school students. You will help these students earn academic success, improve their attendance, and develop positive behaviors at school. You will plan and monitor individual student progress and work with teachers on whole class instruction, breakout spaces, and other in-class student assistance. This position will also be charged with specific tasks that support a unique first start up year.
