We link high-potential Black students in Chicago to the path to, through, and beyond college. For Black students to become tomorrow’s leaders they must have access to educational resources and tools today. LINK’s goal is to mitigate the effect of systemic and structural forces impeding Black students by improving and increasing educational opportunities and access. By equipping our Scholars with the knowledge, skills, resources, and social equity that further college completion and career placement, LINK is increasing the economic mobility and stability of Black students and cultivating a diverse leadership pipeline for our city.
Since 1966, we have successfully supported over 2,500 low- to moderate-income students. In the 2023-2024 academic year, we will serve 300+ middle and high schoolers. Our Scholars represent more than 60 Chicagoland neighborhoods, with a focus on supporting ten South and West Side communities: Auburn Gresham, Austin, Bronzeville, Englewood, Garfield Park, Greater Grand Crossing, North Lawndale, Roseland, South Shore, and Washington Park.
Looking to make a difference by linking students to opportunities so they can take a new path—one that leads to their full potential and our city’s vibrant future? Then join our team!
Position Summary
As an integral part of the Summer Learning team, the Summer Learning Facilitator is responsible for delivering lessons/programming as a part of our leadership development and academic programming. Summer Learning facilitators work directly with our Scholars to ensure that they are receiving, discussing, and understanding the material and facilitators are curating a rigorous experience. Summer Learning sessions will focus on grade-level content geared to combat summer learning loss and prepare scholars academically for their Math or ELA courses in the upcoming year. Additionally, one day each week will be allocated for exploratory learning that will include site visits and field trips around the Chicagoland area. During such programming, Summer Learning Facilitators will serve as chaperones and support Scholars in preparing for, engaging in and reflecting on their experience. All materials are provided for instruction and will be sent to Summer Learning Facilitators to allow for ample time to internalize the lesson and prepare for execution. Summer Learning Facilitators will collaborate with and report to the Director, Educational Programs.
