Internship Program – We provide high school students with the resources to create a resume and cover letter, while also assisting in future opportunities to gain experience within a field of interest.
College Prep/Career Counseling – We provide 9th-12th graders the guidance and structure to identify colleges, apply, and understand the supplemental resources they need during the process. We also help identify financial aid opportunities.

Each student may spend up to 2 hours per day in the Academic Excellence room. This ensures every member has dedicated time and access to tutoring resources while maintaining small-group support.
