We Are Enhancing Our Program!
To date, STEP’s Leadership Program for low-income, first-generation college-bound teens has centered around an empowering 3-week summer leadership wilderness expedition in Alaska with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).
We are thrilled to announce that we are now enhancing our program to include two years of college prep workshops and advising, in addition to our signature STEP Leadership Expedition. These workshops are designed to guide students through the process of preparing for and applying to college, with an emphasis on what it takes to become a competitive college applicant.
Students will now enter our program in their sophomore year and undertake a full year of monthly college-prep workshops before going out on expedition in the summer between their junior and senior year. They will return from their expedition ready to apply to the colleges of their choice with an added sense of confidence in themselves and their abilities. STEP will continue to work with its students throughout their senior year, preparing them for their transition to college.
We are excited about this significant enhancement to our program and look forward to working with our students throughout their sophomore, junior, and senior years!
