Education | Get to know Seton Education Partners. An educational non-profit with Catholic after-school programs. Recruitment Associate Jacob Coonradt explains how they do it, mission opportunities for you, and how they help underserved communities develop knowledge, skills, and character traits.

Jacob Coonradt is a recruitment associate for Seton Teaching Fellows and Brillante Schools Network. Most recently, Jacob served as a middle school humanities teacher at a parochial school in inner-city Denver, Colorado. Previously, he served as a Seton Teaching Fellow and fell in love with the challenge of teaching. Jacob holds a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Hillsdale College. He currently lives in rural Michigan with his lovely (and expectant) wife.

Seton Partners aims to preserve the best of Catholic education’s rich tradition—one that honors each child, parent, and teacher’s inherent dignity, while also nurturing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

Seton Education Partners is a national, 501(c)3 not-for-profit education organization inspired by the life of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Seton was founded at the height of the Great Recession in 2009 by KIPP Foundation pioneer Scott W. Hamilton and Teach for America alumna Stephanie Saroki de García. With a focus on results, Seton is committed to ensuring that children in underserved communities develop the knowledge, skills, and character traits necessary to excel academically and pursue lives of meaning and purpose.

What is Catholic Mindset Podcast?

Catholic Mindset Podcast is inspired by Genesis 1:27-28, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them When." We read these words, and we tend to focus only on our bodies and forget that our minds are also made in the image of God. Sometimes we let our minds consume us instead of realizing that it is part of our creation to serve our pursuit of God in an attempt to sanctify our lives and imitate Christ Jesus. In this podcast project, among other things, we will explore concepts in a way that hopefully inspires our minds, hearts, and souls to think more like our Father and His son Christ Jesus. God bless!
