Open Positions

This position will work specifically for The Education Foundation of Alachua County’s Take Stock in Children program, which has a mission to break the cycle of poverty for low-income, academically qualified students by providing them with opportunities for a postsecondary education. Comprehensive services include direct student support assistance and college and career success coaching for youth across Florida. Students are recruited in middle and early high school and sign a contract to receive comprehensive support through graduation.
