MCAN is seeking college graduates to serve as AdviseMI college advisers in selected high schools across Michigan for the 2025-26 academic year, particularly in high schools that are located in communities with low college-going rates and low adult educational attainment rates. Serving alongside high school counselors and other school professionals, advisers support low-income students, first-generation college-going students, and students of color as they make the transition from high school to a postsecondary education institution.
MCAN’s College Completion Corps places full-time AmeriCorps members on community college campuses to supplement campus efforts to increase persistence and completion of first-generation college-going students, low-income students, and students of color.
The Assistant Director will provide capacity to the department in support of the two AmeriCorps state programs (AdviseMI and College Completion Corps), the new AmeriCorps VISTA program, and national service workforce pathways. The role of the Assistant Director focuses on compliance and impact. This role will support the department goal of enabling more first-generation college-going, low-income, students of color in Michigan to earn a postsecondary degree or credential, using national service as a strategy.
The Executive Director will oversee the Detroit Promise Program, ensuring its growth, sustainability, and impact. They will be responsible for implementing strategic initiatives, building key partnerships, managing program operations, and leading outreach efforts to engage students, families, and the community. Reporting to the DPZA Board, the Executive Director will serve as the public face of the organization, advocating for educational policies and fostering collaboration among schools, funders, and community organizations.
Reporting to the Program Director, the primary focus of the College Access Advisor is on effectively serving a caseload of college aspiring high school seniors using the Bottom Line LEAD (Lists, Essays, Applications, Decisions) Model.
