Program Coordinator, SPARK – Philadelphia Education Fund

Posted by Philadelphia Education Fund on March 4, 2025

For nearly 40 years, the Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) has been opening pathways to college and career success for Philadelphia students. Through our College Access Program, Philadelphia Scholars Scholarship Program, Philadelphia Postsecondary Success Program, and the McKinney Center for STEM Education, we provide college advising and college / career exposure for students in low graduation-rate, public high schools, financial support and persistence programming for first-generation college students, professional development for 1.200 teachers annually, and consulting to schools.

The Philadelphia Education Fund seeks a Program Coordinator to recruit, train, support and develop a community of volunteers for our newest program, Spark Philadelphia. This is a grant funded position with a guaranteed contract for one year with renewal subject to future funding. Spark envisions a future where all young people are inspired to explore who they can become and are supported on that journey. In pursuit of that vision, Spark provides structured skill-building curriculum and real-world career exposure so students can begin to understand, experience, and pursue what is possible for their unique future. Spark provides this impactful programming to students who may not already have access to those opportunities by partnering with under resourced schools.
