Be A Writing Coach for A Low-Income High School Student in LA
Description
As a Minds Matter College Writing Coach, you’ll work with 2–3 students from junior spring through senior spring semester, supporting them through personal statements and supplemental essays. Writing Coaches help students find their voice, gain confidence in their ideas, and see writing as a tool for self-discovery and self-advocacy. You’ll offer thoughtful, constructive feedback, ask reflective questions, and guide students in shaping essays that feel true to who they are.
Support & Belonging
You’ll receive guidance, resources, and ongoing support from program leads and staff. You’ll be part of a community that values empathy, reflection, and care, and understands the responsibility of holding students’ stories with respect.
You’ll Love This If
- You enjoy writing, storytelling, or coaching others through the creative process and want to make a tangible, personal impact during the college application process.
