Turning student potential into college success
Mission: Making the dream of higher education a reality by preparing students and their families to become college and career-ready, setting the foundation for a fulfilling and productive future.
Families to College (FTC) is a comprehensive college readiness program. Students build an individualized roadmap in preparation for entering and excelling in college. FTC offers an afterschool program at participating high schools, introducing students to the knowledge relevant to applying for college, exploring careers and navigating life after high school. Time at the “Campus Center” provides team building activities, academic assistance, and college skill workshops. Alongside coaches, students define their goals and create a practical action plan. Additionally, FTC goes on regular college tours and invites experienced guest speakers, hoping to expose students to different career possibilities.
Eligibility Criteria: Students in 9th - 12th grade who are enrolled at a participating school
