The overarching cultural-change strategy of the Student Success Center model is to create a culture of college possibility that permeates a schools’ climate, classrooms and activities. The program design is focused on the power of peer to peer support and learning. Youth leaders are trained by community based staff and College Access Research and Action (CARA) so that they are equipped with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to educate and assist their peers with the college admissions process.College Explorers in Our Students Words
Designed to build a pipeline that supports high-school completion into college entrance for 50-70 youth who sustain their involvement over four years, this year-long program explores students’ career and post-secondary educational options—through experiential workshops; one-to-one academic advising sessions with staff; community-service projects; and trips to institutions of higher education in NYC and the metro area.New Settlement’s College Coach and Youth Leader Appear with CARA on New York Viewpoint.
