"Go to High School, Go to College"

2024-2025 Registration Form

Background

The "Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College" program, established in 1922, concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of young African-American men & women, given that school completion is the single best predictor of future economic success. Through the Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College educational initiative, young men & women receive information and learn strategies that facilitate success. Alpha men provide youth participants with excellent role models to emulate.

We are inviting young men and women out for a series of breakout sessions and workshops in order to talk to students about the importance of furthering their education and other current and important topics as well.

"Go to High School, Go to College" is a program which energizes the need for group discussions on being successful and the challenges of life after middle school and high school. During our sessions, we will focus on:

Financial Literacy & Budgeting
Investing for beginners
Business Startup
Resume Writing
