Our Programs – All IN! Coalition

HOW WE WORK

When the coalition identifies gaps in services, we form programs in which at least three cross-sector partners reallocate resources and develop new avenues to address those gaps.

Summer Transition Program

We support high school seniors from spring of their senior year to the minute they begin college the following fall. While 95% of HPS graduates are accepted into college, only 60% enroll in the following year. To help first-generation students make the transition, college students provide near-peer outreach and guidance all summer long.

College Persistence Program

When HPS graduates are first-year students at Capital Community College and Manchester Community College, we offer upperclassmen mentors to help them navigate college with greater comfort and confidence, to guide them, answer questions and help them problem-solve. Mentors are urban high school grads who have overcome their own challenges to stay in college.

LAUNCHING JANUARY 2020

At least two action teams will be launched in January of 2020 that will likely address the following opportunities:

Bringing more private-sector advisors into the lives of high-school students;
Training afterschool professionals on how to provide stronger academic support for high school students;

Creating dual enrollment opportunities for high school students to experience college; 
Training and supporting current college-level advising staff on the current high-demand career pathways and what it takes for students to navigate them.

If you have an interest in helping flesh out any of these four ideas – or if you have other ideas – please reach out to us at  [email protected].
