🎓 You’ve seen their WHY. Now, we’re asking you to be part of their HOW.

This week, we shared some of the reasons our students are choosing to apply to college. In November, we need YOU to help them take that next step!

Higher Heights and the Connecticut College Access and Advising Network (CCAN) are preparing for our Connecticut College Application Campaign, and we’re looking for volunteers to support high school seniors as they complete college applications during the first week of November.

You don’t have to be a college admissions expert—you just need to be willing to encourage, support, and show up for our students. ❤️🎓

Their WHY is powerful. Let’s help them make it possible.
