College & Postsecondary Education Success

Our College Support and Success Program prepares all graduating seniors for the mental, social, financial, and professional preparation for success in college, university, and trade school. This program allows for the gems who will be going off to college and university, or any post-secondary institution to cultivate life skills to support themselves holistically whether they attend school out of the city or locally. 

We will provide a wide variety of services that support college admissions such as letters of recommendation, personal statements and essays, community service hours, interviewing skills, and group discussions and mentorship with college alumni. We will also guide, advocate, and support financial literacy for the gems regarding financial aid (grants, scholarships, and student loans), financial maturity, and financial savings and planning. We also provide tangible life skills for college and university success such as commute and dorm life, healthy relationships, health & nutrition, and mental health support.
