Job Description

Every year, the Yale Pathways Summer Scholars Programs welcome over 150 local New Haven public high school students to campus free of cost to take part in STEM and Arts & Humanities classes with Yale faculty. Students will have the unique opportunity to learn about coding, neuroscience, engineering, art-making, art history, college essay writing, and more.


During the STEM program, about 40 rising high school seniors are granted the special opportunity of living in one of the Residential Colleges, returning home on the weekend between each one week-long session. Residential Advisors (RA) will live with students in the Residential Colleges, and their primary responsibility will be to supervise and mentor residential students. They will also be asked to help with logistical needs, plan activities, and participate in college readiness programming. Each RA will be responsible for about 10 students.
