A different kind of journey.

Our 2022 graduates have had a different kind of educational journey. Many of them are completing two-year degrees, which means they both started and finished their degrees during a global pandemic. They adapted. They persevered. And they graduated.

Our education programs are designed to help non-traditional and low-income students overcome barriers to their educational goals. Many are single parents, first-generation students, or working multiple jobs. These barriers only increased with the COVID-19 crisis. From struggles with distance learning to job loss, it has not been easy for the class of 2022. They began their degrees in an uncertain and unstable world, followed by two years of living and learning through a global pandemic on the road to graduation.

But they have persisted. We are so proud of the Class of 2022 and want to ensure they feel our love and support this month. Help us honor their hard work and resilience!

How We Support Students

Participants in both Stay the Course® and Education Navigation are paired with a Navigator who provides what we call “supercharged” case management: holistic, wrap-around services that launch from a place of believing in our students’ capability to reach their goals.

Stay tuned for a special message to graduates from our program Navigators!
