Program Description: The SCS Noonan Scholars Career Coach Program connects college Scholars with weekly career coaching from experienced professionals. A Career Coach offers support with career exploration, preparation, and planning during a 2-month commitment for 2 hours a week. Through this partnership, Scholars gain the skills and confidence to achieve their career goals.
Coaches provide one-on-one career support to college students in:
- Developing a competitive resume/cover letter
- Identifying and applying for internships, fellowships, and full-time positions
- Identifying and preparing to apply to graduate school
- Interview preparation
- Informational interviews and career exploration
- Networking techniques
Requirements: After completing the online application, volunteers must complete an orientation/interview and online training. We are seeking individuals with excellent writing skills, who have experience job searching (preparing one's own resume/cover letter, interviewing, etc), and who are enthusiastic about sharing their personal experience. Bachelor's Degree required.
Time Commitment: 2 hours a week for 2 months. This opportunity can be completed remotely.
Benefits: Career Coaches lay the foundation for new career prospects for low-income, first-generation college students of color. Your support and expertise can help more SCS Noonan Scholars transition into successful careers.
SCS Noonan Scholars Mission: At SCS Noonan Scholars, our mission is to help high-achieving underrepresented students graduate from top colleges equipped to achieve their full potential in their chosen career. SCS Noonan Scholars is committed to bridging the college achievement gap for first-generation college students through a unique seven-step replicable model proven to establish a foundation for lifelong success. Many high-achieving high school students from low-income families lack the necessary resources to define and support their educational and professional goals. Our core belief is that a college education is the only reliable and predictable way for underserved youth to achieve their full potential.

Mission Statement
At SCS Noonan Scholars, our mission is to help high-achieving underrepresented students to graduate from top colleges equipped to achieve their full potential in their chosen career.
Description
South Central Scholars (SCS) was established in 2001 by philanthropists James and Patricia London, originally as a scholarship program serving a few high-achieving low-income students in the Los Angeles area. Quickly realizing the demand for a multi-stage, integrated program of support, SCS began supporting these students throughout college with scholarships, academic intervention, academic and social-emotional support, and career guidance and networking. Within a few years, SCS was yielding impressive results: 90% of Scholars who were attending very selective schools like Harvard, Brown, Williams, USC, etc. were graduating within 6 years.
In 2014, our founders decided to replicate their program in Boston, under the name Noonan Scholars, as a pilot for further regional, and eventual national, expansion. After three years of successful outcomes in Boston, we are now ready to go national, under the SCS Noonan Scholars flag, as one fully merged organization. We will support the top low-income students of color across the country with the same refined model of service which has come to define our success in L.A. and Boston.
