REACH Program Collegian - Summer

REACH Program & Regis High School Mission Statements

REACH, through a transformative middle school program, empowers high-achieving young men from underserved communities as Catholic leaders committed to faith, scholarship, and service. REACH is a free summer-and-Saturday enrichment program for middle-school boys designed to enhance students’ academic and leadership skills. Through our advanced curriculum, REACH prepares its students to win scholarships and financial aid to the most selective Catholic high schools in the New York City area, including Regis High School.

Regis High School transforms Catholic young men through an academically exceptional Jesuit education in a caring community which inspires leadership, generosity and a lifelong passion for service as Men for Others. Regis is tuition free and merit based, giving special consideration to families in need of financial assistance.

REACH is seeking motivated young men who are in college for employment in its summer sessions. Collegians serve as student dorm prefects, advisement group leaders, study skills teachers, academic advisors, and recreation activity directors. Most importantly, they serve as mentors to their advisees.

This year, the summer session consists of a 3-week academic term at either Fordham University (for our Candidates) or the University of Scranton (for our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Year students). Both camps occur from July 6 – July 25 and Collegians work only these three weeks.

• Supervise and mentor a cohort of approximately twelve REACH students
• Lead students through daily academic and recreational programming
• Serve as a primary role model and consistent point of contact for students
• Act as a liaison between students and REACH leadership and faculty
• Advance and uphold the mission of the REACH Program

• Demonstrated leadership, responsibility, and initiative
• Ability to collaborate effectively within a team-based environment
• Cultural competence and professional maturity
• Strong collegiate academic record
• Personal attributes including patience, empathy, flexibility, and professionalism

• Experience working with middle school–aged students
• Skills, talents, or interests that may enrich student programming
• Proficiency in Spanish

• Willingness to support and advance the Catholic and Jesuit mission of the school through all interactions
• Work in collaboration with the administration in observing the principles and ideals for which REACH and Regis High School stands
• Assume all other duties as assigned by REACH leadership
• The REACH program expects one to conduct oneself at all times in a manner which shall not bring reproach upon oneself or REACH
• The job description is to be used merely as a guide of expectations rather than an exhaustive list of all duties and competencies

This position pays $2,000.00 for the 3-week session. Collegians will be provided with room and board at no cost. All program specific transportation is covered.

The Regis community strives to foster a sense of belonging at all levels of the organization.

Central to this mission is a commitment to diversity and care for the whole person (cura personalis).
