Braven Leadership Coaches lead teams of 5-8 diverse college students through a semester-long leadership and career course at San José State University. Coaches facilitate weekly experiential learning sessions (Tues or Weds evenings), build a strong team culture, give feedback and coach students 1:1, all while sharpening their own leadership and management skills.
WHO BRAVEN IS SEEKING
Ideal coaches can have anywhere between 2-20 years of work experience and come from diverse personal, academic, and professional backgrounds. It's a great opportunity for promising, early-stage employees to practice leading diverse, millennial teams. It's also a great opportunity for more experienced employees to pay it forward in a meaningful way.
Ideal coaches have demonstrated the below skills and mindsets:
- see feedback as a gift and are eager to give and receive it
- have strong group facilitation skills, including clear and energetic communication, active listening, and powerful questioning
- lead through an asset-based lens and can build strong relationships with young people
- believe in the leadership potential of young people no matter where they’re from
- are hungry for professional development that deepens their facilitation, coaching, and management skills
- understand the power of social capital and are eager to open networks to students

Mission Statement
Braven empowers promising underrepresented young people -- first-generation college students, students on Pell grants and/or from low-income communities, and students of color -- on their path to college graduation and strong first jobs, which lead to meaningful careers and lives of impact.
Description
Braven empowers promising young people on their path to college graduation and strong first jobs. We believe that our next generation of leaders will emerge from everywhere, so we take a particular interest in ensuring our talent network is filled with people from underrepresented backgrounds. To do so, Braven partners with educational institutions, volunteer professionals, and employers to offer a rigorous and relevant career readiness course, that is followed by robust campus-based alumni programming. The course is targeted as a part of the sophomore or transfer junior experience.
The Braven Accelerator is a rigorous course that builds Fellows’ leadership mindsets and confidence while they build, practice, and apply hard and soft skills. Fellows, with the guidance of their volunteer Leadership Coach and cohort of 5-7 peers, build a personalized roadmap towards success and the self-motivation to realize their vision. After the course, Fellows receive specialized engagements, such as networking events and connections to career-accelerating experiences, through which they continue to build a strong network and access critical information and experiences to support their career trajectory.
