The Yleana Leadership Academy is seeking Teacher/Counselors, an Operations Intern, and Teacher/Mental Wellness Counselors for its residential summer academy. We take pride in serving rising high school seniors, the majority of whom are low-income first generation students of color from underserved urban areas. Our mission is to close the achievement gap through a three-week summer experience focused on SAT training on a college campus.
Yleana’s staff are people who are constantly generating new and better ways to do things, drawing on what they have seen, read, and experienced, who replace “I can’t do that” with “Let’s make it happen.” We prefer instructors who can improvise, who are creative, who approach problems in unexpected ways, and who generally understand how to communicate the test to diverse groups of students.
Since the test was redesigned in 2016, our average score improvement in a 3-week period was 150 points on the SAT, and we want your help to make that number even higher. To get a feel for the Yleana experience, check out this video: https://youtu.be/_yi3UCFoUuE.
