Chicago - Our Process

We forge relationships with guidance counselors in various schools throughout the inner-cities, who then recommend their top sophomores to attend our program. Those who are interested fill out a rigorous application and are notified if accepted. Each student is then paired with two mentors who work together for the next three years. These mentors become role models to the students and often keep in touch for many years to come.

Our program consists of SAT/ACT training, Vocabulary and Writing & Critical Thinking workshops, What's Going on in the World debate series, application, scholarship and financial aid navigation techniques, career panels, college life assimilation tools, and various guest speakers and field trips. Every summer we send each student to a college summer program of choice, and ultimately to a four-year college.
