College Advising Program

Purpose

The College Advising Program provides comprehensive, evidence-based multi-tiered supports, and services focused on mitigating barriers to college access for underrepresented and underserved student populations. Our program specifically targets services to support our students in foster care, experiencing homelessness, living in poverty, and English learners, in order to bridge the college access gap.
