Liberations Scholars Program Coordinator

George Fox University's Liberation Scholars Program is seeking a motivated and collaborative individual to support first‑generation college‑bound students, particularly within Latinx communities. The ideal candidate will have a strong network in local high schools and experience in student support, marketing, and recruitment. Working alongside the Program Director, the Program Coordinator will help develop co‑curricular programming, build community partnerships, and create opportunities for college prep and civic engagement.

Liberation Scholars Program introduces intellectually curious Latinx high school students to the humanities, college life, and civic engagement. Students participate in a two‑week summer experience on the George Fox University campus, where they read, write, and discuss transformative texts from ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary Latinx thinkers. The program also supports the students on their journey to college during the following academic year with activities like essay workshops and college readiness resources.

George Fox University, a Christ‑centered community, prepares students spiritually, academically, and professionally to think with clarity, act with integrity, and serve with passion. Professors teach all truth as God's truth, integrating all fields of learning around the person and work of Jesus Christ, bringing the divine revelations through sense, reason, and intuition to the confirming test of Scripture. As a Christ‑centered community, George Fox University is an institution that values diversity as an essential dimension of God's design for human communities.
