Across the country, community-based organizations and college access programs are working with youth to
promote a college-bound culture among first-generation and traditionally underserved student populations.
CSO College Center's
Programs in Practice portal
provides a searchable database and spotlight profiles to recognize and promote the
good work of leading college access programs, community-based organizations, educational resources centers, and scholarship foundations nationally.
Students and Counselors can search the database to learn of organizations operating in your area.
Take advantage of local college preparation progams and scholarship opportunities.
Colleges and Nonprofit Practitioners can use Programs in Practice as a resource to survey
the landscape of CBOs and access programs nationally. Find organizations to partner with in promoting college opportunities or learn about successful models to replicate
best practices in your efforts.
