On-Site Coordinator, Off-Campus Programs

Join to apply for the On-Site Coordinator, Off-Campus Programs role at Brown University
.

The Division of Pre-College and Undergraduate Programs is dedicated to ensuring a supportive, challenging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate living and learning environment for the approximately 6,000 pre-college students who hail from all 50 states in the U.S. and over 70 countries.

Brown University’s Pre-College Programs offer high school students (13-18 years old) an opportunity to study a wide range of liberal arts subjects that reflect the breadth of Brown’s undergraduate Open Curriculum while strengthening their connection to a robust community of peer scholars from around the world. Students develop personal and social skills that are critical to success in the college setting and get a feel for what college life is like – the responsibility, the freedom, and the new friendships.

Students enroll in programs with courses that vary in length offered both on-campus and online.

There are two types of programs that take place away from the Brown campus:
Brown Environmental Leadership Lab (BELL) and Brown Experiential Education (BEE). Both types of programs are immersive and rigorous academic experiences. Program sites are carefully selected to ensure the connection between site and course content offers students a rich experiential learning experience.

The On-Site Coordinator will be part of a staff team that develops and implements a suite of experiential lessons in a transformative learning program for high school students. Staff live and learn alongside students to provide an integrated educational experience. As a team, the program staff support students’ personal growth, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility while fostering a welcoming and inclusive community.

Teamwork is critical to the success of this immersive learning environment.

The team includes an On-Site Director who oversees an On-Site Coordinator(s) and one or two Student Life Managers who support students in their living-learning space. The staff team is responsible for 18 to 45 students.

The On-Site Coordinator is responsible for supporting the On-Site Director through oversight of program logistics, including field trips and administering the program advance. This role is seasonal and the final candidate will be able to complete all pre-work remotely but is required to be on-site for the duration of the program. This position reports to the On‑Site Director and the Assistant Dean of Experiential and Language Programs for BEE programs (BEE Program Director) or the Associate Director of Pre‑College and Environmental Studies for BELL programs (BELL Program Director).

A typical program day lasts from 8 am until 10 pm. Each day will look a little different, but will typically consist of at least one site visit or field trip, at least one on‑site lesson, three meals, multiple breaks for students to have free time and/or community time. The On‑Site Coordinator is expected to be accessible by the group at all times, though they can delegate some of the day-to-day responsibilities, such as purchasing supplies, checking in with students or groups of students, and/or doing end‑of‑day curfew checks.

Staff are expected to work evenings, weekends, and sometimes respond to incidents that occur overnight. Due to the on‑call requirements, the person in this position must live on‑site with the students. On‑site housing and meals will be provided.

The BELL program combines concepts in environmental studies, ecology and leadership, with a mission of developing socially responsible leaders.
