Director of TRIO Access Program, Philadelphia Education Fund
Posted by Philadelphia Education Fund on September 10, 2024
The Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) mission is to drive exceptional outcomes for all students by developing great teachers and building paths to college and career success. PEF began in 1985, when local business and civic leaders formed the Philadelphia Alliance for Teaching Humanities in the Schools/Philadelphia Renaissance in Science and Mathematics. Later, the School District launched the Philadelphia Schools Collaborative to focus on high school reform. In 1995, these entities merged to form PEF. Today, as the city’s most comprehensive, full-service education organization, PEF works tirelessly to expand and improve educational opportunities available to local youth and envisions a Philadelphia where all young people have the skills, knowledge, opportunity, and access to the resources they need to succeed in college and careers.

A key aspect of PEF’s work is ensuring that every high school student in Philadelphia is supported in understanding and pursuing their options for a postsecondary academic journey, anchored in college launched its College Access Program – a college advising and counseling program closely aligned with the needs of the Philadelphia School District and students attending its lowest graduation-rate high schools.
PEF’s TRIO College Access Program is a signature effort with a rich and deep history in the city and serving an estimated 100,000 students in over 30 years. The Director of the TRIO College Access Program is responsible for leveraging that rich history through innovation, team leadership, data informed strategies, and relationship building within the vast and growing network of college access programs supporting Philadelphia’s students.
