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.

Personal Experience in College
As a first-generation Pakistani student, my name is Syed, and my journey at CUNY Hunter College has been a tapestry of diverse experiences and personal growth. With each step I take on this vibrant campus, I am constantly reminded of the resilience and determination that brought me here.
