College Track is looking for committed students who are motivated to obtain a college education and are ready for the rigorous structure and support that we provide. What is College Track? College Track is an after-school and summer college completion program that helps first generation and low-income students who have the motivation but lack the resources and support to obtain a college education. We help our students succeed in getting through high school, into college and to college graduation. We provide the tools and opportunities our students need to realize their dreams: academic support, extracurricular activities, community service, internships, and assistance in all aspects of the college application process. How does College Track help students get into college? College Track’s approach is intensive, comprehensive, and personalized so that we can best meet the needs of all of our students. College Track students are expected to participate in each of our three programs:

• Academic Affairs ensures that our students are both eligible and competitive for college admissions through tutoring, ACT prep, and academic counseling. It ensures that students are ready for the rigors of college classes by helping students develop the habits and skills they will need to succeed on campus.

• Student Life provides opportunities for students to explore their passions and dreams through experiential learning and community service opportunities during the school year and summer, mentorship, and workshops.

• College Completion provides support and guidance to students all the way through college graduation, exposing students to colleges and universities, helping students find summer programs on college campuses, visiting colleges, completing the application and enrollment process, and supporting students once they arrive on campus. It also assists students with financial preparation for college.

When does it start and what is a typical day like? At the beginning of each semester, students attend an orientation and create their weekly College Track schedule, signing up for weekly workshops and tutoring sessions. Students will schedule to come in about 3-5 hours per week, on weekdays between 3:30PM and 6:30PM. During that time, they participate in one-on-one or small group tutoring depending on need and attend workshops or study groups aimed at enhancing academic performance. In addition, students work with staff and peers to pursue things they’re passionate about, ranging everywhere between photography and service at a dog shelter. Students participate in college completion classes and projects where they learn about colleges, scholarships, and how to complete their applications.
