Yleana Leadership Academy – Paid Summer Opportunity!

Yleana Leadership Academy seeks to decrease the achievement gap for low-SES high schoolers from urban areas through SAT score increase. Over 50% of their kids are first-gen and over 95% are of color. For their staff, who are college students and recent college grads, this is way more than just a summer internship – it’s a chance to meet a child who will touch their lives and way of thinking forever. Yleana staff who reflect on their experiences feel their time spent at camp was transformative, eye-opening, and a cherished memory. 

The Yleana Leadership Academy is interested in recruiting both grads and undergrads for a transformative SAT summer camp that is part SAT boot camp, part higher order thinking skills development, part leadership academy, part on-campus college experience, and part traditional summer camp. They are looking for people who would be willing to work hard and have an amazing time creating a summer camp experience for kids. It’s a ton of work but a LOT of fun!

Excitingly, this opportunity also pays! Staff get room and board for the duration of the summer as well as receiving a stipend between $2500-3500 AND UP! (depending on experience) for the two-month commitment – from June 10 – August 10, 2020 – as well as the opportunity to continue working through the end of August at one of their Follow-up Programs at $25/hr.
