College Directions (CDP) 20-21

Due to Covid-19 the College Directions Program has shifted to a mix of in person and virtual services.  For more information please see our comprehensive guide HERE: Covid Protocols

Our College Directions program prepares youth through individual college counseling, coaching, and guidance on their transition to college through to their freshman year and beyond. 90% of our young men and women are accepted into college and 75% of them are the first generation in their families to go to college. Our Youth Council allows youth a voice and choice over program decisions about rules, activities and events. Projects such as Reading Buddies, Peer Mediation, Best Buddies and Helping Hands, assists youth in developing skills in active listening, public speaking, and mentoring with same age and younger peers who are typically developing or have special needs. The KHCC Teen Program and College Directions offer pilot programs at Bronx Theatre High School and ELLIS Preparatory Academy on the nearby JFK campus. Summer bridge trips and activities are typically offered at center and school based locations to cohorts of intensively involved youth.

• College Access workshops
