Program areas at Embarc
Embarc is a high school program that provides community-driven, experienced-based learning opportunities to low-income high school students to inspire and prepare them for postsecondary success.
Post-secondary initiative is aimed at guiding seniors and recent graduates into and through their first year of college. This includes advisement around college and pathway fit, support with the post-secondary process, and establishing partnerships with key institutions and programs that target and advocate for low-income, first generation students. Once our seniors graduate from high school, Embarc continues to offer a range of services such as: quarterly alumni events, mentoring opportunities, assistance with fafsa and other college/job related applications, as well as monetary support for textbooks, college fees and other needs to ensure persistence.
