Marin Academy Marin Academy (MA), a leader in progressive and experiential education, seeks a collaborative and creative associate director of college counseling. This associate director will join MA at a critical moment, as a strong director of college counseling enters her second year and builds out a team focused on reimagining the college counseling process at MA. The successful candidate will be a thought leader and partner who will thrive on strengthening MA’s existing priorities and processes while, at the same time, considering what more might be achievable in the future—and then working alongside the team to turn that ambition into reality. Founded in 1971 by a small group of educators and private individuals with a forward-thinking vision for education, MA is a co-educational, independent, college preparatory day school in San Rafael, California, just north of San Francisco. The school enrolls 450 students in grades 9-12. MA’s founders realized – far ahead of their time – the importance of incorporating experiential learning and citizenship with intellectual development, ideals that today have become a model for education in the 21st century. MA has long been recognized for its commitment to environmental stewardship and its innovative curricular and co-curricular programs that engage students in real-world topics and in learning by doing. That real-world bent extends to the College Counseling Office, too. MA views college counseling as critical to a student’s educational experience, and this associate director must believe deeply in college counseling as a conduit for a student’s personal development, including their capacity for discernment, communication, resilience, autonomy, and intrinsic fulfillment. MA is a small, close-knit community, and it is equally critical that the associate director value and engage positively with students and families during a process that – while exciting – can also be anxiety-producing. MA is a school impressively committed to continuous improvement and pushing its own boundaries, and that ethos extends to its faculty, staff, and students – including this associate director. Specifically, the incoming associate director will: contribute to strengthening the College Counseling Office within the MA ecosystem; understand, champion, and communicate the ethos of the MA experience; build strong relationships with students and families; and leverage the use of data analytics. The successful candidate will bring a high level of emotional intelligence, a problem-solving mindset, active involvement both within the MA community and the broader college admissions community, and a deep resonance with the mission and values of MA. The anticipated salary for this position is between $115,000 and $135,000 annually, commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience.

Collegewise Collegewise is looking for part-time college counselors with experience in admissions or student counseling to join us. We're open to applicants in any location, but candidates must be available to work with students in the Pacific time zone (student meetings typically occur between 3-8pm PT during weekdays) and/or on weekends. As a part-time Collegewise counselor, you'll work with a small caseload, comprised mostly of junior and senior students, meeting virtually (via Zoom) one-on-one to help them find and apply to the right colleges for them. The number of hours you'll work per week will depend on the number of students you choose to take on. Every college counselor who joins us completes an initial paid 40-hour training, followed by mentoring, a supportive hive of over 60 fellow counselors, access to over ten years of student admissions results to aid you in your work, proprietary software to track your students' progress, and ongoing professional development like our College Counseling Master Class. We're not looking for people who equate part-time hours with part-time effort. This is less about the number of hours you work and more about the heart you bring to that work. And that engagement will go both ways. You'll have a dedicated manager who's committed to your success. You'll be treated like a valuable addition to our team, you'll be invited to our company holiday party, and you'll be considered for some of our most iconic annual awards. In fact, some of our most indispensable colleagues are part-timers who have found their place here and now thrive doing their very best work. Part-time counselors are paid $75/hour for counseling work, and $35/hour for training or admin work. Another way to look at it: depending on the program a student enrolls in, you'll earn a total of $2200-$2600 per student. You'll ultimately have the autonomy to decide the size of your caseload based on your availability and your desire for work, but we require part-time counselors to work with a minimum of 7 students. If your interest is piqued, please start by writing us a cover letter that tells your story. What role has admissions or counseling played in your professional life? What brought you to this place seeking part-time work? What excites you about this opportunity? Then submit your application on our site. When you paste your cover letter into the text box, your formatting will hold up when we see it (but if it doesn't, we'll blame the text box, not you). |
