Our College Advising Programs
Next Step College
Next Step College is a cohort-based program that supports motivated students through the full college application journey. During the two-year program, students participate in information sessions, complete application-related assignments, and meet one-on-one with a dedicated college advisor. With clear milestones, personalized support, and a built-in community, Next Step College helps participants stay organized and apply with confidence.
Application Essentials Program
Application Essentials is for high school seniors who need help with their Personal Statement, Supplemental Essays, Activities List or resumé. Students work one-on-one with an advisor to brainstorm, draft, and refine ideas to make sure they showcase their unique voice and story in their applications.
College Information Series
Our College Information Series introduces students to the components of the college application process. We partner with after-school programs/community-based organizations to provide a series of one-hour college information sessions. Whether students are just starting to think about college or preparing to apply, these sessions give them the foundation they need to feel prepared and informed.
