Welcome to College Summit

Our Reach and Growth

To date, College Summit has served more than 35,000 high school students (including almost 9,500 influential students, Peer Leaders). We have also trained more than 1,200 teachers and counselors across the country in best practices for effective implementation of the Navigator curriculum, our senior year college planning course.

Our Alumni

Every year, alumni continue to give back to College Summit and their communities by volunteering with College Summit. They serve in a variety of roles, usually choosing to spend their time coaching Peer Leaders at our summer workshops. Due to increased outreach and improved alumni programming, the number of alumni volunteering at workshops increased more than 150% from 2005 to 2006.

Supporting Sustainability and Affordability

Central to College Summit's theory of change is that our strategy is affordable for communities:

• College Summit has reduced its cost per student three years in a row.
• Similarly, for every dollar that a school contributes, College Summit raises $5 from colleges, corporations and national philanthropy to cover the costs.
• Too keep costs down, hundreds of dedicated volunteers staff our Summer Workshops. Last summer, College Summit filled more than 700 Summer Workshop positions with volunteers from across the country and from a variety of fields. These volunteers contributed an average of 70 hours per position, for a total of nearly 50,000 volunteer hours over three months.
