The Higher Education Coalition 

The Higher Education Coalition is a group of colleges and universities working to support their communities by placing more college students in high-impact jobs or volunteer positions as tutors, mentors, student success coaches, post-secondary transition coaches, or wraparound/integrated student support coordinators at local P-12 schools or out-of-school time programs.

Each member institution has set a two-year goal to either:

1) increase the percentage of Federal Work-Study funding that they allocate to compensating college students in community service roles as tutors, mentors, student success coaches, postsecondary transition coaches, or wraparound/integrated student support coordinators for P-12 students, or

2) substantially increase the number of college students in these roles regardless of funding source.
