Program Description:

In this program, we invite high school juniors and one parent or guardian to engage in a series of conversations to prepare for college. We will explore the requirements necessary to apply for higher education at colleges and universities in Hawai'i and beyond while developing the skills needed for success in school and life.

Program Objectives:

• Students will learn, develop, and practice health skills that will help them navigate a major transition from high school to college, from childhood to adulthood, from dependence to independence.

• Students and parents will learn, develop, and practice communication skills that will help them engage in hard conversations about the transition to post-high school life.

• Students and parents will learn how to navigate the requirements and expectations of college readiness including applying for financial aid and enrollment.
