When in High School
PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS
RCC College NOW ~ RCC offers college credit for selected high school courses. New starting the 23-24 school year there are Friday classes offered to TRSD students. Check here to see what College Now classes are offered at your school!
ASPIRE Oregon ~ ASPIRE Oregon is a mentoring program that matches trained and supportive adult volunteer mentors with high school students to develop a plan to help them meet their education goals beyond high school.
Today's students may not have the good fortune to have someone to help them figure out what to do after high school, let alone the myriad of education and training options. If you have a desire to help students explore college options, admissions, and financial aid, ASPIRE is for you. Become one of our trained and supportive adult volunteer mentors and work one-on-one with students throughout the year.
Project Gap ~ Provides one-to-one mentoring and additional supports as needed for students.
Project Youth+ ~ Promotes healthy youth development, academic excellence, and college preparation for students, especially those who face life challenges. Partnership Youth+ is an evidence-based program for engaging bright young people in typically under-served populations. Eligible students will be enrolled in any of our programs, based on whether they meet eligibility requirements, and if there is space available. Students are pre-screened by Partnership Youth+ and then invited to apply to their program. There is a PY+ Representative at each high school.
Oregon Goes to College ~ Follow step by step instructions for each grade level.
