SEE College Prep began when undergraduates at Stanford realized that the experience they had gained when applying to college could significantly benefit younger students. Before SEE, Garrett Neiman had created an SAT preparation company after he earned a perfect score on the SAT; Jessica Perez had developed a college counseling program in South El Monte, the low-income community she grew up in. Garrett and Jessica met in Stanford’s Public Service Leadership Program, and chose to work together. Incubated by Stanford’s Social Entrepreneurship Collaboratory, SEE College Prep was born.

Our Work

Since our founding in 2007, we have helped more than 1,100 low-income high school students improve their SAT scores and become the first in their families to go to college. We mobilize and train hundreds of top college students, who are matched with schools and community-based organizations that lack the financial resources and expertise to offer SAT prep for their students. This past summer, we expanded from seven to twenty locations across California. Recently, we tied for second in the BASES Social Entrepreneurship Challenge and were profiled in BusinessWeek and The New York Times.

The Opportunity
We recently received a $510,000 grant from an entrepreneur in New York, which will enable us to triple in size and serve 1,600 students across California. With the help of this grant and others, we will expand our leadership team in our Palo Alto office and prepare for the opening of our second office in Los Angeles in June. We are a young, highly entrepreneurial, impact-driven organization with plans to grow dramatically in California and ultimately nationally. We hope you will join us in this effort!

It is an exciting time for us: we are far enough along that we can offer job security to everyone involved, but still young enough that we should grow 50% or more each of the next few years.

Job Openings

A Director of Development will oversee our $1,250,000 fundraising campaign by writing grant proposals, conducting philanthropic research, meeting with foundation program officers and philanthropic individuals, making preparations for board meetings, overseeing our public relations and stewardship efforts, and organizing special events.

A Director of Programs will oversee our partnerships with schools and community-based organizations across California, oversee programmatic operations before and during our summer programs, and lead an effort to revamp our curriculum and program.

Qualifications (Director Positions)

2+ years of full-time work experience required, 5+ years preferred.
History of commitment to public service required, 2+ years of relevant experience preferred.

Energy and flexibility to meet the demands of a fast-paced, entrepreneurial organization.
Effective multi-tasker who can oversee multiple projects and handle a dynamic work schedule.
•    Effective writer and speaker who can convey information concisely and persuasively.
•    Ability to manage a team and to motivate and retain volunteers.
•    Comfortable in a non-hierarchical, collaborative environment.
•    Ability to get the details right without losing sight of the bigger picture.
•    Ability to create project budgets and forecast future expenditures.

Compensation: $35,000 – $85,000 (commensurate with experience) and competitive benefits package.

Since we are only making a few hires and have substantial funding, we have great flexibility with the salaries we offer. We have received applications from individuals with 2-15 years of work experience and different kinds of graduate degrees, so the range we must be open to is unusually wide. We are willing to pay more for the right candidate, and     have the resources to do so. The bottom line is: if you’re excited about where we’re headed and we think you’re the   best person for the job, we’ll make it work as long as you are cognizant of the fact that we’re a non-profit.

3. Model Campus Engagement: A two to three year partnership with a campus that follows the phases “Assessment and Planning,” “Program Implementation,” and “Evaluation and Sustainability.” Over the course of the three-phased engagement, IFYC helps to put the campus on a path to complete transformation to a model campus of interfaith cooperation.
