Who We Serve
Let’s Get Social (@lgrforcollege)
Reason #1 to support LGR this #GivingTuesday: Higher education matters. College degree attainment is directly correlated to increased lifetime earnings, and can provide a path out of poverty and a lifetime of opportunities. Make near-peer coaching available to over 20,000 students this academic year with a gift to Let`s Get Ready!

Help us congratulate our Enrollment & Partnerships Manager, Pam Hasbun, as she celebrates her one-year anniversary with LGR and kickstarts her first year as an MEd student! 🎉
We asked Pam why the work she does at LGR is important to her:
"It means a lot to me to help students achieve success and support. When I was in high school, I almost didn’t apply to college because I had no one in my corner. My parents were awesome emotional aid, but they did not know much about the ins and outs of college apps, FAFSA, and the SAT.
As a first-gen Latinx student, I would have really appreciated having someone by my side as I went through my first and second year at UC Berkeley. So many students face these hardships alone and drop out of school altogether. That is why it is so important for me that I help them feel less alone. Everyone deserves to go to college and have a support system that can help them when times get tough." - Pam Hasbun

We`re going to miss you, Dallas! Our Associate Director of Curriculum and Training, Virna Johnson, led a roundtable discussion at #NCAN2023 on the work that Let`s Get Ready has done to implement culturally responsive mentorship as part of the @successnyc "Critical Consciousness in College Access and Success" working group.
We`re incredibly inspired by the work that we are doing together. Stay tuned as we continue to develop, test, and document innovative approaches to better support students of color to and through college.
