Braven is a national nonprofit that prepares promising young people—many of whom are people of color, from low-income backgrounds, and the first in their families to attend college—to secure a strong first opportunity after college graduation through a career-accelerating program.
We work with higher education and employer partners to offer a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long course for college students followed by support that lasts through graduation.
Together, we are helping to open up access to the American Promise, empowering a generation of leaders who mirror the diversity of our country.

In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000-100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring a part-time Grader who will play a central role in supporting students (known in Braven as Fellows) toward success during the Accelerator. A Grader is the first line of support to a caseload of students in their academic mastery in the Braven Accelerator. The primary goal of Graders is ensuring their students are engaged and succeeding academically in the course.
This role is on the DSU (Delaware State University) team and reports directly to the Director of Program Success.
Grade assignments for an assigned group of students using rubrics and provide meaningful feedback.
Support students who are flagged because of their grade, engagement, and/or other personal issues.
Communicate to the Braven team, group facilitators (known in Braven as Leadership Coaches, or LCs), and students about students’ mastery, engagement, and upcoming deadlines.
Attend one virtual class (known in Braven as ‘Learning Labs’) night per week (Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM ET or Thursday 4:00 PM- 6:00 PM ET) to build relationships with students, provide support and answer questions about upcoming assignments, observe cohorts, and potentially substitute for absent group facilitators/LCs (dependent on the region).
Attend weekly Grader meetings and check-in 1:1 with the Grader Manager.
Hold one hour of virtual office hours per week.
Support students who come with questions
Proactively reach out to students who need more support
Support students outside of office hours as needed.
Deeply internalize Braven's instructional content such as modules, slide decks, assignments, and rubrics.
Attend all live trainings and complete additional asynchronous trainings. Graders will complete one, 30-minute, asynchronous training per week during weeks 3 through 12 of the course. The goal of this training is to ensure all graders are scoring with the same norms and to get questions answered about how to grade each assignment.
Serve as an ambassador for the Braven team on campus by serving on panels, sharing your experience with other campus stakeholders, etc., as time permits.
