Description:
The Center for College & Career Readiness (CCCR) is a national, independent, non-profit organization founded on the belief that college and career success is possible for all students regardless of race, academic challenges, economic status or family situation.
We believe students armed with the knowledge and power to lead their peers toward success in high school and beyond are effective change agents. We harness the power of youth voice, leadership and inborn passion. We leverage the influence of social networking to transform teen culture and attitudes about college and career readiness.
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, we are building a network of educators, youth and advocates dedicated to advancing awareness and improving student achievement in preparation for college, work and citizenship. Our approach markets college and career readiness with young people, rather than to them.
