How The Empower Collective Works
Inaugural summer cohorts of 8-10 students each will start with the READY program, which is taught by a college professor, with mentorship components from rising college sophomores who are also neurodivergent. READY students will take a mini-English 101 course, practice academic and soft skills that are required for college success, and complete an Individualized Success Plan (ISP). READY admissions applications are open now until 5/24 (extended deadline).
Grads of READY are eligible for continued 1:1 academic coaching throughout their first year of college with THRIVE, and select rising sophomores of the program will be invited for an internship opportunity with EMPOWER, which will work with next year's cohorts of READY students.
