The Boys and Girls Foundation has made it possible for A Step Beyond (ASB) to fully launch its College and Career Readiness Program this fall.   The goal of the College and Career Readiness Program is to position ASB participants to take advantage of educational and career opportunities, with a STEAM orientation. The key objectives for this program are:

1) To prepare high school students with personalized learning plans focused on their college and career goals

2) To ensure each student who matriculates through our program has one-on-one academic counseling and each 11th and 12 grader has an A-G high school course curriculum plan aligning with their Personal Learning Plan

3) To provide all students in 9th through 11th grades with at least two world of work experiences including but not limited to a career night, a mock interview, job shadowing opportunity, or resume writing workshop

4) To take all ASB high school students on a tour of local colleges

The grant funding will support costs associated with the purchase of MakerSpace supplies for use by participants who are engaging in STEAM-related projects and experiments, and also will assist in underwriting the costs of college tours to local colleges.   For most of our students, they will be the first in their families to attend college.  For our students, having the opportunity to tour local colleges with their families and to see firsthand what college life looks like will be a transformative experience.  We are so grateful to the Foundation for their generous support of the students of A Step Beyond.
