College Living Experience

Help neurodiverse college students build confidence, meaningful relationships, and real-world social skills.

Are you looking for a job where your work truly matters, every day is different, and you get to be part of a fun and supportive community?

College Living Experience (CLE) is a comprehensive college support program for neurodiverse young adults, including students with autism, ADHD, and learning differences. Students attend local colleges while receiving individualized support in academic success, career development, social engagement, and independent living skills. Through mentorship, coaching, and real-world learning experiences, our team helps students build the skills needed to live independently and pursue meaningful adult lives.

We are seeking a Social Coach to support students as they develop confidence navigating friendships, social environments, and community life. In this role, you will build supportive mentoring relationships with students while helping them practice real-world social skills in authentic environments.

Social coaching sessions are designed to be friendly, engaging, and collaborative while helping students develop the skills needed to build relationships, navigate social situations, and feel more comfortable in their communities. One day you might be helping a student plan how to attend a campus event or social activity. Another day you might be exploring the community together, helping a student practice conversation skills, or facilitating a group activity with other students.

Our students are a wonderfully diverse group of people — artists, gamers, writers, athletes, music lovers, and students discovering new interests for the first time. A big part of the role is helping students connect with their interests while building friendships and social confidence.

Working at CLE means being part of a collaborative team dedicated to helping students reach meaningful milestones in their lives. Staff support students across four key areas of development:

• Every day is different. You’ll spend time mentoring students, helping them build practical life skills, and exploring the community together.
• You get to see real growth. Watching students gain confidence and independence is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
• You can be creative in how you engage students. Staff often turn their own hobbies and interests into activities that help students connect and grow.
• You get paid to do fun things in the community. From local events to game nights to karaoke, supporting students often means joining them in the activities they enjoy.
• You’re part of a supportive team. CLE teams value collaboration, flexibility, and recognizing the strengths each person brings to the work.

• Meet with assigned students for weekly one-on-one social coaching sessions (typically one hour)
• Build rapport with students while supporting the development of social confidence and relationship skills
• Help students recognize social challenges and practice strategies for navigating real-world interactions
• Support students in learning how to engage reciprocally in conversations and relationships
• Encourage participation in community events, campus activities, and social opportunities

• Navigate the community with students to practice social and communication skills in real-life settings
• Facilitate social activities, group outings, and peer engagement opportunities
• Support students in exploring interests and building friendships
• Provide transportation to and from social activities or events when needed

• Write summary notes following coaching sessions and submit documentation by the end of the day
• Communicate student progress or concerns with the Director and CLE team
• Participate in weekly supervision meetings with the Director (individual or group)
• Collaborate with CLE staff across program areas to support student growth…
