Alumni

You can find our alumni on college campuses across the country, from SUNY to Stanford. They’re at the University of Connecticut, the University of Richmond, and everywhere in between.

Our alumni want to graduate from college, but they want to do more than that. They want to thrive and lead. Our alumni counselors stay in contact with our students long after they’ve walked across the stage at 12th grade graduation. Because we want to continue to help them go on to graduate college and make their marks on the world.
