Every year students cite their college coaching component of the workshop as one of the most pivotal moments of their experience. It is in their sessions with professional college choach that our students really start to believe the many possibilities and options out there for them.

Expert College Coaches bring a wealth of knowledge about the thousands of college and career options available to College Summit students. Through one-on-one meetings with each student, College Coaches help students define a manageable path to college. Through these sessions, college becomes a reality for many students who never before considered college an option.
