Personal College Advisor

ORGANIZATION: PeerForward

FYF

This fall, College Summit will launch their First Year Forward pilot program that connects college freshman with a Personal College Advisor virtually; each Personal College Advisor will act as a guide to resources as well as a source of advice on college, finances, and career.

Only 51% of first-year students go on to graduate from college, but for students who continue to Sophomore year, 78% graduate. Through advising, encouragement, and support, you can make a difference. Help a student realize their college potential.

As a Personal College Advisor for College Summit, you will receive professional support, advisor training, flexible hours, and advising guidebooks. While College Summit prepares you to advise college freshman, it is the student relationship with their College Advisor that bring these lessons to life.

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!
