Can you give the gift of time? College Summit is pioneering an exciting new initiative,

First Year Forward, to encourage and assist students through their first year of college. Do you remember your first year? Did you have, or would you have liked, someone to give you advice on navigating your freshman year?

As a First Year Forward volunteer, you can share what you learned with a new college freshman and empower them to achieve their college, career, and life goals.

Best of all, you can provide this vital encouragement from anywhere because the mentoring will be done virtually. Interested? Apply here: https://lnkd.in/eFT9ChE

Mission Statement

PeerForward unleashes the power of influential high school students in low-income districts across the U.S. to boost school-wide college preparation and enrollment.

Description

In low-income communities across America, PeerForward trains teams of high school students to guide their peers through making a postsecondary plan. These teams are part of a national movement to strengthen the college-going cultures in high schools across the country using the power of positive peer influence. By organizing school-wide activities and events throughout the school year, Peer Leaders educate their peers about postsecondary education options, increase the number of students enrolling in higher education, and ensure all students are prepared for life after high school. Peer Leaders not only change the culture in their high schools, but they are also part of a movement that leverages the power of students to make college the expectation, not the exception!
