Whole Family Program Coordinator

Co-Founded by NFL linebacker Anthony Barr and his mother Lori Barr in 2016, Raise the Barr is committed to increasing opportunity and economic mobility for single-parent students in Minnesota and California by providing them with the holistic resources they need to complete their education, including resources they need for their children to thrive. Promoting college success among student-parents is critical to improving racial, ethnic, and gender equity in higher education access.

Raise the Barr places single-parent students at the center of our work, and as such identifies every opportunity to elevate their voices in advocacy work and to advise the leadership team.

Are you passionate about educational equity and eager to help single-parent students thrive? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven, start-up-like environment? Raise The Barr is looking for a flexible and compassionate professional to join our growing team and provide high-impact, personalized support to student parents.
