Clinical Scholar Coach

Start date – Immediately

Full-time and In-Person Position | Newton, Boston, Cambridge, other nearby college locations)

The Wily Network partners with college students in the greater Boston area who are working towards their degrees without emotional or financial support from family. Wily provides a critical safety net for Scholars as they navigate college independently.

Wily Scholars bring unique experiences, challenges, strengths and goals to the college journey. Some have experienced homelessness or foster care, some have been denied family support due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, some have lost their parents, and some have family members dealing with addiction, major mental illness or incarceration. All are talented and motivated, and all are braving college on their own.

Our program offers weekly clinical coaching, financial resources, community-building support, and networking opportunities to help Scholars graduate college and achieve lifelong success. For more information, please visit thewilynetwork.org.
