• Latinx/African American 10th graders are encouraged to participate.

• Students are given swag!

• Cohort will meet once a month for 2 hour sessions with School Counselors to ensure they are completing the necessary coursework to stay on track. Each session goes over different themes like character education, college awareness, career interest surveys, grit and more.
