College Success Mentoring

The College Success program is our primary initiative to assist students as they prepare for college, work through their studies, and graduate on-time with a career in sights. To begin, high school juniors are assisted by college student mentors, who help to demystify the application process and ease the transition into college. From there, our professional and volunteer guidance mentors are with students every semester of college to ensure they graduate with the best opportunities for success. Below are the key goals for each year of the program.
