PLUS CENTERS

PLUS Centers act as hubs of college, career, and academic resources previously unavailable to the student body. The Center offers a space where students can safely explore their interests and receive the support needed to achieve their present and post-secondary goals.

BELIEVE + ACT + INSPIRE

Emerging research has shown that an individual's mindset--the perception of oneself in relation to learning--has substantial effects on school performance. Our team works to help students develop strong, positive mindsets about who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

we work with over 2,800 students each year across ten partner schools.
