About this Opportunity
Single Stop at Miami Dade College (MDC) is dedicated to helping MDC students and low-income families combat hunger and achieve economic security. Single Stop USA is a national not-for-profit organization that partners with community colleges and local service providers to help community college students and families achieve economic security and mobility. Single Stop¿s goal during this project is to alleviate the cycle of poverty and barriers that impact the completion of education through support to site staff around outreach, services, and sustainability. MDC enrolls more minority students than any college or university in the United States. Hispanics make up 75% of MDC's credit enrollment, and Black non-Hispanics account for 15%. Educate Tomorrow @ MDC supports MDC students impacted by the foster care system or homelessness and is housed in the Single Stop departments across campuses. Each ET@MDC student is assigned a College Coach to aid in the transition to college, with a unique focus on enrollment, retention, and completion. Students are also paired with a Changemaker Peer Mentor for added support in navigating academic, personal, and life-skills development. Single Stop is a college-wide one-stop source for students and their immediate family members to be connected to public benefits and local resources. Single Stop aims to connect students with valuable resources, so they can concentrate on what matters most: their coursework, their families, and their futures.
