College Access Program
A college education opens up doors, including increased job opportunities, valuable life experiences, and connections. Our College Access Program (CAP) assists local students in exploring their post-secondary education options. In addition, we empower program participants to lead and become change agents in their community.
College Access Program runs all year to support students as they:
- Explore the types of colleges that fit their needs and preferences
- Learn about the College Admission Process
- Complete college essays and develop references
- Offer guidance for financial aid and Scholarship applications
BGC Staff work with participants to develop their unique post-secondary pathway plans. Each student's plan has tasks for them to complete based on their grade level. The program provides a guide for college readiness and results in greater access to colleges and post-secondary opportunities.
some activities include:
- Tours of local colleges and businesses
- College & Career Fair
- Workshops
- Classroom instruction
- 1:1 Mentoring
