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
My background!
My name is Noelia (No-EL-LEE-Uh)! I am a first generation Mexican American and an Earth and Environmental Science major in Brooklyn College!
I really enjoy hiking, birding or just anything to do with nature! My favorite bird is the Timberdoodle! (Just look how cute and silly it is). Im the type of person who points out a bird flying past
As the first in my family to go to college, I had no one to look towards for help. No one knew what FAFSA was or why I had a hold on my account. Navigating this alone was scary and confusing. Thats why I became a Bridge Coach, to help those who feel the same way.
Before college, I would just keep to myself and be afraid of getting out of my comfort zone. Once I got to college, everything changed. The people I've met changed my perspective in life (dramatic I know!). I started becoming more open and actively involved in conservation efforts, my education and clubs! My experiences in college are invaluable and I'm the happiest I've ever been.
