My Students

Please help educate middle school students about the many college and career options available to them.

At my school many of the students will be first generation college students.

Our school strives to provide students with the facts and knowledge to make informed decisions about college and careers. Students are eager to learn about the many college and career opportunities available to them.

My Project

The resources purchased will educate, inspire and provide students with the opportunity to see the many opportunities available to them upon graduating from high school. These resources will also allow students to asses their interests and research colleges and careers.

By donating to this project, you will inform, educate and assist students with two of the most important decisions in their lives.

Thank you for taking the time to help our future leaders!
