Our Approach

STEP consists of two core programs:

  • STEP’s College-Prep Program – We guide first-generation college-bound Arizona high-school students through the process of preparing for and applying to college via monthly college-prep workshops throughout their sophomore, junior, and senior year. Students are encouraged to consider colleges and universities around the U.S. as well as Arizona.
  • STEP’s Leadership Expedition Program – Upon acceptance into STEP’s College-Prep Program students enter a pool of candidates to be considered for acceptance into STEP’s Leadership Expedition Program.  At the core of this program is a life-transforming 3-week leadership wilderness expedition in Alaska during the summer between a student’s junior and senior year.  STEP’s Leadership Expedition is designed to increase students' self-confidence, enhance their ability to meet unfamiliar challenges, and widen their view of what’s possible for the future.

STEP’s approach is based on the premise that the first step to success and high achievement for any individual is the strong internal belief that he or she has what it takes to succeed.

  

“I learned about my limits ... that there are no limits!”
