BEYOND THE NUMBERS

Every number represents a student making decisions about what comes next.

Through Scholar CC, students have opportunities to explore college and career pathways, build relationships with caring adults and professionals, strengthen academic and professional skills, and gain greater confidence in their ability to navigate their futures.

Our goal is not simply to help students reach graduation. It is to help them leave high school with greater clarity, preparation, and access to opportunities that can move them forward.

And as our scholars continue their education, our support extends into workforce development, helping connect education to meaningful career pathways and professional experiences.

How We Help

THE IMPACT OF MENTORING

Relationships have been at the heart of Scholar Career Coaching since the beginning.

Through our mentoring model, students connect with caring adults and professionals who provide consistent guidance, encouragement, and exposure as they make important decisions about college, careers, and life after high school.

Mentors help students explore possibilities, set goals, ask questions, build confidence, and begin developing the skills needed for their next chapter.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS TELL US

Student feedback provides an important look at the difference these relationships can make.

  • 100% of surveyed students reported learning skills from their mentors that helped clarify career or postsecondary choices.
  • 95% of surveyed students reported feeling more capable and confident in their ability to succeed academically as a result of their mentoring relationship.
  • 85% of surveyed students wanted to meet with their mentor more frequently, demonstrating strong engagement with the mentoring experience.

FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE. FROM COLLEGE TO CAREER.

Scholar CC’s impact continues as students move through different stages of their journey.

In high school, students receive mentoring, college readiness, career readiness, and scholarship support that helps them prepare for life after graduation.

As students move into college and early career experiences, Beyond the Cap, our workforce development initiative, helps bridge the gap between education and employment through career coaching, professional development, networking, and work-based experiences.

Together, these experiences create a continuum of support designed to help students move forward with confidence, preparation, and opportunity.

WHY IT MATTERS

Students should not have to navigate important decisions about their futures alone.

For more than a decade, Scholar CC has worked alongside students, families, schools, mentors, employers, funders, and community partners to create a village of support around young people.

Our impact is measured not only by how many students we reach, but by what becomes possible when students have guidance, opportunity, and people in their corner.
