College Success

Over the past year, BGCSF has increased our focus on and investment in college success.

In addition to our popular College Prep program, we introduced a two-year College Success Program designed to provide critical support to youth when they need it most. Through this program, we are proud to provide Club alumni who are transitioning to community and local state colleges, financial support, 1:1 academic mentoring, and socioemotional support so that they are best equipped to succeed in college and beyond.

“From help with registering for classes, scheduling, and organization, to providing mentorship and a community network of peers who are navigating the same challenges, our College Success Program meets young people right where they are at this stage in their lives. I am thrilled to be able to support the practical life skills —as well as the academic and socioemotional needs of our seniors and young alumni, as they make a successful transition to college.”

“The best aspect of the [College Success Program] is being able to have the extra support not available on a large campus. Having the check-ins makes me feel valued as a student as I am able to reflect on my progress.”
