Guide to Matriculation

WHAT IS A BRIDGE COACH?

College & Career Bridge for All (CCB4A) is a program that works with DOE and CUNY to increase postsecondary enrollment by hiring and training college students to provide meaningful advising to graduating seniors through the postsecondary planning, financial aid, and matriculation processes. In 2020, we scaled our program to ensure that all students in the NYCDOE graduating class have access to a near-peer Bridge Coach to support them on their postsecondary journey. As a city-wide program, we serve more than 50,000 students annually as they graduate from the NYCDOE. So, a Bridge Coach is a trained college student who helps students with the matriculation process.

About Me!

I am a junior majoring in Sociology at Hunter College, and I like to watch movies!

I was born and raised in Washington Heights NY! My family is from the Dominican Republic and we're very proud of where we're from. Also i'm a gemini!

I love going for walks in central park!

I went into college as a human biology major, then shortly realized I wasn't really interested in that at all. I felt that I needed to do a STEM major to feel fufilled but then I took my first Sociology class and fell in love. Shortly after taking that class, I changed my major to Sociology, and it was the best decision ever! Every day I learn something new that I truly enjoy. Although it took some trial and error, I'm glad it led me where I am today!

I am here to help you with the paperwork, challenges, and obstacles that may come with pursuing a post-secondary plan. May it be college, tech school, or anything else, I am your helping hand throughout this process. I want you to make sure you know there is no right or wrong way to begin this journey in your life, but it's always great to have someone to assist you who understands how these things go. I hope to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows you to share any questions or concerns you may have. I am your bridge coach but also a friend. I've been in your place before and can understand how stressful it may get. I'm very excited to help you out this summer!
