DAP is Posse’s unique evaluation method for identifying young leaders who might be missed by traditional admissions criteria, but who can excel at selective colleges and universities.
The Large Group Interview (DAP 1) is one of the most exciting pieces of the DAP selection process. This interview involves students in a series of interactive workshops, giving them an opportunity to showcase their leadership and communication skills. Through observation, Posse staff and volunteer evaluators watch for interpersonal talents indicative of a student’s potential to succeed in college and work well within a diverse team.Volunteer evaluators are looking for what we call "standout" students, i.e., students who are great communicators, work well in teams or with their peers, can resolve conflict and lead discussions, who are positive, creative and catch your attention.
DAP 1 sessions will take place from approximately 3:00-9:00pm, Monday-Friday, August 11-18. Volunteers can sign up for one or multiple sessions. If interested, please contact atlanta@possefoundation.org.More opportunities with The Posse Foundation: Atlanta

Mission Statement
The Posse Foundation is a college access and youth leadership development program that identifies, recruits, and trains students leaders from public high schools and sends them in groups called Posses to some of the top colleges and universities in the country.
Description
Posse started because of one student who said he never would have dropped out of college if he had his "posse" with him. That simple idea, of sending a group of students together to college so they could "back each other up" became the impetus for a program that today has sent hundreds of students to top colleges and universities throughout the United States. Posse Scholars have been awarded over $334 million in scholarships from Posse partner colleges and universities and are persisting and graduating at a rate of 90%--far higher than the national average.
