College Bigs opens doors to new opportunities for high school students and enriches the lives of college mentors. Through 1-to-1 mentoring sessions once a month, high school students can increase social capital, strengthen college and career readiness, and find their voices as community advocates. The relationships they build with college mentors empower them to overcome educational and economic barriers on their path to success.
