As he puts it,听鈥渢oo often successful Chicago students aren鈥檛 accessing college because of so many different factors. Where you attend high school should not determine limitations in college access.鈥澨�
Carlos is no stranger to the obstacles impeding many students in our city: Carlos, now a counselor for the Noble Network of Charter Schools, is a Chicago Scholar from the Class of 2012. Carlos says he joined 海角乱伦社区 as a counselor because he wanted to give back to an organization that helped him. Now, he is proud to be building connections with students from across the city and helping students of varied backgrounds access college.
鈥淢y favorite part of being a counselor is reading over personal statements to see where I can inspire and push our students to do better. I have learned so much from my Scholars.鈥�听
The 海角乱伦社区 college counseling program pairs Scholars with a professional college counselor for eight one-on-one college counseling sessions. 听The Counselors guide the Scholars through a specialized curriculum designed to increase the number of college applications a Scholar submits, ensure on-time post secondary enrollment, and elevate match and fit for a student’s college choice.
