Summer Session
REACH is seeking college students for employment in its summer sessions. Collegians serve as student dorm prefects, advisement group leaders, study skills teachers, academic advisors, and recreation activity directors. Most importantly, they serve as mentors to their advisees. The summer session consists of a 3-week academic term at either the University of Scranton (for our 2nd and 3rd Year students) or Fordham University (for our Candidates). Both camps occur from (July 6 – July 26). Collegians work only the first three weeks at either Scranton or Fordham.

Collegian Role & Position Qualifications
Collegians are enormously important to the successful functioning of REACH. Each Collegian supervises a group of approx. twelve REACH students, leading them through their daily academic and recreational schedules. As a role model, the Collegian is the person with the greatest personal contact with REACH students and direct influence on his students in their formation as reflective servant-leaders. He serves as a central link between the students and the REACH Director, Assistant Director, Deans, and Faculty. The position, therefore, requires a great deal of personal responsibility and commitment to the mission of the program.

Qualified candidates will exhibit the following characteristics: a heightened sense of responsibility, demonstrated leadership ability, an understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, social maturity, high self-initiative, a good collegiate academic record, and the ability to work well within a dynamic teamwork setting. Patience, empathy, compassion, hard work, a sense of humor, and personal flexibility are essential to this role. Though not required, REACH prefers applicants with the following additional characteristics: experience working with middle school students, lifeguard/water safety certification, proficiency in Spanish, and particular skills, talents or interests that can be shared with students.

Compensation & Application Timeline
This position pays $2,000.00 for the 3-week session. Collegians are provided with room and board at no cost, and all program specific transportation is covered.
