About OneGoal

OneGoal transforms postsecondary advising and support so that every student can define their own future. Together with our partners, we’re building a movement to close the opportunity gap. We work side-by-side with partner schools and districts to build their knowledge and capacity. The result is more effective support for all students. Our unique approach, honed over 15 years, prioritizes strong human relationships. And it’s proven to deliver real student impact (https://www.onegoalgraduation.org/impact/impact-results/) : An independent study by the University of Chicago found that OneGoal students are about 40% more likely to earn their postsecondary degrees than students from similar backgrounds. At OneGoal you’ll be immersed in a culture of collaboration, shared purpose, and collective impact.

The Person As the Director of Teacher Support (DTS), your mission is to coach our Program Directors (teachers) to successfully deliver the OneGoal Program. With your guidance and leadership, our teachers will build expertise in our model, develop key mindsets, and activate their many talents to ensure each OneGoal Fellow (student) in their class pursues their highest postsecondary aspirations.
