COOP is building a diverse movement of upwardly mobile first-generation college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections. COOP wants to reignite the nation’s promise of upward mobility for those who strive to achieve a brighter future for themselves and their families—to ensure the American Dream is a reality for all. It connects un-/underemployed first-gen college graduates to one another—within cohorts and across “generations” of cohorts. By growing their peer professional networks, members of the community achieve upward economic mobility by building the skills and connections they need for the careers they deserve. COOP's intervention for underemployed graduates has produced compelling wage outcomes for thousands of first-generation and low-income grads in New York, California, Illinois, and Florida. Within 12 months of program completion, four-in-five COOP alumni are fully employed, earning an average of $50,000 per year (median pre-program earnings are $12,000).
"This is an exciting time to be part of COOP’s journey, one in which the Director of Development will build their professional legacy while ensuring the future financial success of our organization." — Kalani Leifer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
