Ready to Launch is for incoming seniors who want to learn more about the college application process and steps to be successful in applying to different colleges and universities. Seniors who are part of the cohort will get 1-on-1 college support from a coach as well as weekly group support. Individual sessions will be held for two hours for 3 weeks. Group sessions will be held every week from September 26th to December 6th and will focus on college goals, college checklist, writing essays, and learning about financial aid.
Seniors who successfully complete the program, turn in applications, and enroll in a college or university will be awarded a $500 scholarship to support their post-secondary transition.
Group Cohort Meetings: Thursdays from 4-5:30 @ the Y.O.U. office
1-on-1 with college coach: Scheduled individually
The first session will be on September 26th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jane Baron at
