Community Engagement Program Manager for Partners for Learning

The national award-winning Partners for Learning program engages Nazareth students as tutors and mentors in partnerships with the children, teachers, and staff of eight urban sites. Focused on advancing educational equity as part of a regional collective impact strategy, these partnerships are designed to help raise the academic performance and educational aspirations of the children, while heightening the social awareness and sharpening the professional skills of Nazareth students.

Partners for Learning is part of the federal work-study financial aid program, supporting college student access as it is a paid college employment experience. The program manager also contributes to the programming of the Weider Community Engagement office, collaborating with colleagues to support community-engaged scholarship programs and capacity building for community engagement programming for faculty, staff, students and community partners.
