Description

STRIVE FOR SUCCESS
Academic and Enrichment Youth Center, Iowa City.

Strive for Success (SFS) is a Faith Based Christ-Centered non-profit organization designed and dedicated to helping at-risk youth, grades 3rd-12th, in Iowa City, and surrounding areas succeed in school, life, and society. Do you want to do well in life and for the community?

We work with 9-12th grade students on real world readiness by helping them prepare for a future where they can attend college or a vocational school. Our work focuses on helping our students and their parents navigate through the process of college and or vocational school preparation. Students who follow our program from 3rd-12th grade will be provided a financial scholarship to pursue higher education, to attend a Vocational School, or a 4-year College/University.

Strive for Success focuses on students from low socio-economic backgrounds and not limited exclusively to, but with a heightened awareness and sensitivity for those with one or more parent(s) incarcerated and no high school diploma.
