Combining college knowledge with personal development, CAP empowers students to see what’s possible and take the steps to get there.
The College Access Program (CAP) provides students with consistent, in-class instruction to help them understand their options after high school and build the skills needed to succeed. Delivered directly in partner schools, CAP creates a college-going culture by meeting students where they are and helping them take ownership of their educational journey.
Through a structured, grade-level curriculum, students explore topics such as goal setting, study skills, career pathways, financial aid, and the college application process. Advisors also support students in understanding graduation requirements while developing critical life skills like time management, self-advocacy, and communication.
