College Prep & Success

Young people, especially from low-income and historically underrepresented backgrounds or who may be the first generation to attend college, disproportionately lack access to the critical supports and services that help prepare them for college admission and success.

Young people need to be engaged early to build their interest in college and put them on track for higher education admission and success. Afterschool programs can provide the support young people require to prepare for and explore their college options, and to gain admission to, thrive in, and graduate from college.
