US Extracurricular and Leadership Project Advisor:
As a Crimson Extracurricular and Leadership (ECL) Advisor, you'd be working with students to strategize and develop a personalized leadership project that demonstrates their interests, ingenuity, and initiative. The leadership project is a vital component of their college application process. The core responsibility of an Advisor will be to guide and mentor the student on how to execute their Capstone Project. Advisors will also guide students with the scaling-up of their Capstone Projects as well as ensuring their projects are impactful within a community.
Our advisors are paired on a student-by-student basis, with the control to accept or decline students as the mentors schedules allow. This provides our advisors with abilities to manage their schedule around other commitments. The minimum hours required is 5 hours per week, and advisors are obligated to remain with students until their project has come to a close. Allocations are made on the basis of subject compatibility, meaning that you will be working with students hoping to pursue a project in an area similar to your own expertise. Popular project types and subject areas include:
Non-profit/community service
Entrepreneurship/Start-up’s
Computer Science
Engineering (mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc)
Physics
Biology and Medical Sciences
Law
Performance, Theater, and Fine Arts
If you have a skillset, a strong educational background ( Top 30 US Universities ), or professional profile that matches the above areas, and you have a passion for education and mentorship, you'd likely be a great candidate for ECL Advising! Additional qualities of an ideal ECL Advisor include strong project management and organizational skills, ability to work remotely and independently with an attention to detail, and fantastic written and verbal communication skills.
