College Possible provides college planning workshops to ninth and tenth graders at its partner high schools to ensure that underclassmen are aware of their postsecondary options while they still have time to prepare for them. The curriculum includes lessons on the benefits of attending college, how to begin preparing for the college admission and financial aid process, and ways to access college planning resources.
In addition to reaching a large number of students with college access information, college planning workshops offer current College Possible seniors a valuable leadership opportunity. Seniors, who serve as compelling messengers to their peers, complete a training process on workshop facilitation before helping AmeriCorps members lead underclassmen through the interactive workshop curriculum.
