Hope College TRIO Upward Bound is hiring for summer educational coaches for our 6 week (plus one week of training) Summer Session 2025!

 

Summer Session 2025 runs from June 16, 2025 through July 24, 2025. Training takes place June 9-13, 2025.

 

We work with some of the most incredible, driven students from Fennville HS, Holland HS, and West Ottawa HS and assist them in achieving their goal of attending college. We are a Department of Education-funded program intended to serve students who are first-generation, face economic obstacles, and/or need academic assistance.

 

During the summer, we provide intensive coursework to prepare students for their upcoming school year, as well as classes that give students the opportunity to explore careers and passions. The six-week summer program serves 80 high school students, grades 9-12, and includes academic classes, social, cultural, and recreational activities. Students receive instruction in English, math, science, and foreign language, research post-secondary options and visit college campuses, and develop their leadership skills.

 

 

Program juniors and seniors have the opportunity to live on Hope’s campus for the last two weeks of the summer session. This residential program allows students to experience life on campus and helps to ease their eventual transition to college.
