Since 2014, College Now has been the fiscal agent for the Ohio AmeriCorps College Guides program, managing 70 AmeriCorps College Guides in nine statewide locations. Additionally, College Now provides college access training for all 70 AmeriCorps members, including the ones serving in Cleveland.
The AmeriCorps Ohio College Guides program places fresh college grads into middle schools, high schools and community centers to help guide traditionally underserved young people and get them the information and knowledge they need and deserve to prepare for, access and complete a postsecondary credential. The College Guides is a corps of driven and highly-qualified professionals getting a start in education whom students can relate with, confide in, and eventually emulate as they are guided in planning for their future and taking constructive steps toward successful completion of their goals.
We're recruiting for the 2016-17 school year! Do you know someone who would be interested in becoming a College Guide?
