Careers

“I love my job at UP RVA! I have the opportunity to build relationships with so many different people. I love helping people, and this organization allows me to do just that.”

Marchelle Roane Operations Manager

Join The Family

The students at UP RVA view our organization as a second home. That makes our staff the grown-ups in the room who love, plan, worry, coach, nag, and provide unwavering support. Every day arrives with new challenges and possibilities. The work fulfills us—and occasionally wears us out! 

We hire professionals who go “all in” when it comes to making a difference in the lives of the low-income high school and college students we serve.
