I have only been with College Possible a short time, and I am already convinced that their work is life changing. I have worked with several non profit organizations related to education, and very few have been as well organized and supportive as College Possible. I am constantly surprised by the way that the leadership team supports coaches, and the ability to which coaches are able to support their students. As a Senior Coach I am connected to every one of my students, and feel confident that with the support of College Possible, I will be able to support them in a way that will lead to their acceptance into a four year university. College Possible is an organization that is composed of people who want to make a difference, and are truly dedicating themselves, and all of their time and energy, to making that happen. Education is the future.

College Possible is achieving incredible results that have a life-altering impact on low-income students in the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, and Omaha. Students receive the support, guidance, and encouragement they need to not only get accepted to college, but to graduate with their degree. This organization is not only changing lives, it's changing the conversation about higher education and college access. I believe its work is one path to ending the cycle of poverty in America. I am humbled and privileged to have worked with College Possible students and to have been a part of this amazing organization.

This is simply an fantastic organization that is doing meaningful work: if you are in this program, you will get into and go to college, period. It has been a pleasure to serve with College Possible, and to work with such exceptional students. Not only are the results fantastic, but the work is easily replicated and needed in every large metropolitan area in the United States. To support College Possible is to support the future of the United States, to pave the path to success in areas where there were no roads before.

I have been serving with College Possible for almost 3 months and I have found every week to be educational and inspirational. Working with students is definitely one of the highlights whether it's proctoring a practice ACT, chaperoning a campus visit, or talking to students one-on-one about their hopes for college. Daily I am reminded of my awesome experiences in college and it makes me want to work even harder for our students to ensure each one of them has the opportunity to find their right college.

College Possible is an exceptionally organized and motivated organization. They are extremely results driven and go above and beyond for their students. I have been serving with College Possible for all of three months and I already consider it the best job I have ever had. The main focus of this organization are the students. I truly feel that College Possible is changing lives!

I have been serving with College Possible for a year and am extremely impressed by this organization and their commitment to their students. College Possible staff and AmeriCorps members go above and beyond to make sure every student has the opportunity to attend college. Many of these students are the first in their family to attend college, so the support, guidance, and care that students receive is critical. What impresses me most about College Possible is the heart that goes into their work -- yes, this is a job for the staff and AmeriCorps members, but it is also a passion and I know that each person cares deeply about education inequality. I have had a wonderful experience at College Possible and am proud to have served with an organization that is creating positive change and bringing hope to students and families for a brighter future through education.

Though still in my fledgling months serving with College Possible, I know that this year will be an influential one. Upon graduating from college, I knew that my calling was somewhere within the realm of education - I just didn't know where. Now, I know. Creating a level playing field for low-income students and closing the achievement gap is no easy task, but with the aid of organizations like College Possible, I truly believe the potential for our nation's youth is limitless. The attention to detail, along with the heartfelt care and exemplary motivation that I have seen throughout this organization has been nothing short of inspiring. Attending college should not, and can not, be for a priveleged few. Knowledge is power, and that power should belong to everyone. With College Possible, it can and will.

I have been serving with College Possible for approximately two months and already I'm impressed with the success achieved by this non-profit. 98% of students who go through this program are admitted to college and that number will only continue to increase, even as they expand. There are countless stories of students who would not have gone to college, even though they are more than capable, if not for this organization. Idealistic people do amazing work here. Enough cannot be said about how great this organization is for our community.

I went to school in Boston, but I felt confiident about moving 1,000 miles to Milwaukee because I felt confident about this organization. Colelge Possible's numbers are staggering: 98% of students earn college admission after increasing their ACT scoresby an average of 21% through the high school program. 57% of students will graduate from college within six years and will ultimately give back more to society in both tangible and intangible ways. It's this record of excellence and the results-driven approach of College Possible that makes me proud to serve here. College Possible does some noble work, and it does it very well, which shouldn't surprise anyone whose met the quality individuals they select for their corps. I am constantly imrpessed by the idealism and work ethic of my fellow corps members, and they remind me that moving out to Wisconsin was a very good decision indeed.

I have served with this program fora little over two months now. I went into it not sure exactly what to expect, and so far have never felt happier about the work that I do. While my job is challenging in that it is mainly technology-based, my students are responsive, and greatful for our help every day. They take the time to tell me just that, and I couldn't ask for more from my job. Just knowing that I've had enough impact for them to express their gratitude make this one of the most meaningful things I've ever done.
