College BridgeCollege Bridge is a semester-long program geared towards supporting high school seniors in their transition out of high school and into college, work, general post-high school. During the class, we cover topics surrounding the college transition process such as understanding financial award letters, choosing colleges, housing, navigating college (studying, office hours, finding resources), stress and time management. In addition, we also cover relevant topics like mental health, self-care, job searches, resumes, cover letters, internships, volunteering, goal-setting, cooking and other topics that students find useful. Our goal is to create a space that will make student’s transition out of high school a bit easier! |
Kid City ScholarsThe Kid City Scholars is a year long mentoring program that pairs up a college graduate with a high school senior to provide individualized college application support. In the KC Scholars program, we provide the navigation and aspiration capital to empower low-income and first-generation students of color. Our goal is to create a safe space for scholars to share their story and pursue higher education. In the academic year of 2020-2021, mentors virtually assisted 23 scholars in applying to financial aid and a two-year and/or four-year university. |
