We are hiring! Please help us spread the word.

https://jobs.boisestate.edu/en-us/job/499388/educational-specialist

Boise State University TRIO Upward Bound is looking to fill our Educational Specialist position at Meridian High School.

This is an absolutely FUN and REWARDING career position with great flexibility and growth potential, and it is never boring! Great option for current certified teachers, counselors, social workers, coaches or anyone that enjoys helping youth reach their potential. Also, this could be a good fit for an energetic recent college graduate looking for a way to make a difference.

TRIO Upward Bound is a pre-college program that works with limited-income and first-generation high school students. We wear many hats (teacher, counselor, mentor, event coordinator, etc.)- but ultimately, our goal is to help high school students get into college and find the career of their dreams.

If you have any questions at all about the job or the program, let me know. I love talking about our history and successes. We have been motivating youth and helping provide opportunity since 1983 in the Boise area.

Thank you for spreading the word. The job post is set to end on the night of 12/7.

PS- If you have not heard, we are also hiring for our Business Operations Coordinator position (for now, this is set up as an internal BSU search only- with the potential to open up to the greater public in early December if we do not find the right fit).

Thanks again.

TRIO Works!

TRIO Upward Bound works folks! Please take the time to learn about its 60 year history. The story below was from the Today show last week. 26 years of my life have been dedicated to helping low-income and first-generation students get to college. It truly makes generational change and helps our community with a high return on investment. Let me know if you have questions.

As most of you know, educational opportunity programs like TRIO Upward Bound (who help low-income and first-generation high school students get into college), are facing tough times. The program that I Direct here in Idaho and I have worked for, for over 25 years, has been changing students lives and making generational change in low-income families for over 60 years. I have stats to prove it! If you would like to help our program thrive, here is a link below, feel free to share it out too. If you have any questions at all about BSU TRIO Upward Bound or would like to partner with us down the road, feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!

The TRIO Programs are federal outreach programs designed to increase educational opportunities and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, primarily low-income individuals, first-generation students and individuals with disabilities.
