who we are
Our Philosophy
Grounded in a fundamental belief.
College Track is a comprehensive college completion program that empowers students from underserved communities to graduate from college. We believe that every student has the potential to change the world. We also believe that the most powerful way to unlock that potential is through a four-year college degree.
By making a 10-year promise to our students, we remove the academic, financial, and social-emotional barriers to earning a bachelor’s degree and a life of upward social mobility. As college graduates, our students rise above systemic social and cultural barriers to contribute their talents to the world.
This work has truly never been more important.
The Ripple Effect
Families
When students become the first in their family to earn a college degree, they set a precedent that lasts generations. Children of bachelor's degree holders are more than twice as likely to earn a higher education.
Communities
College graduates not only serve as role models for future generations, they are also twice as likely to participate in their community through voting, volunteering and community service.
Societies
An educated populace not only positively impacts our economy and diversifies the workforce, it also strengthens our citizenry and gives voice to our most vulnerable communities.
Your Future, Within Reach
Five states, ten centers, endless possibilities.
We embed ourselves in some of America’s most historically disadvantaged communities, where talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. We recruit young people who are determined to earn a four-year college degree and will leverage the power of their education to change the narrative for students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our student centers are not just spaces of learning and exploration, they are safe and supportive environments where a diversity of voices and perspectives are heard and valued. College Track is a second home.
