Review for College Possible, St. Paul, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I support Admission Possible because I truly believe the organization changes lives of young people. By providing the supports necessary to access college and then to be successful IN college, Admission Possible provides services to thousands of low income students each year. Recent independent evaluations have shown that Admission Possible more than doubles the likelihood of their students getting into college and more than triples the likelihood of these students completing college. Their model is highly efficient, utilizing passionate young people through AmeriCorps, trainging them well, and consistently getting amazing results.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I served on the Board of Directors of Admission Possible for 8 years. Through that time, I have seen the organization grow many times over and succeed in accomplishing their mission year in and year out.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would grow Admission Possible as fast as I could so the model could be used to help as many students as possible. The more college graduates we have in this country, the more everyone will succeed, our economy will grow, we will see reductions in the need for social services, and the quality of life for all of us will improve.

Role:  Donor & I left my career in the private sector to start a foundation to help more young people succeed in life.
