DIRECT SERVICE CONTRIBUTIONS

We recognize that the work we do in CEP has a ripple effect across communities. Our direct service and outreach efforts impact students, families, educators and anyone striving toward equity in college access. Specifically, CEP programs provide a mix of intensive cohort services and fundamental school-wide support for middle school, high school, and community college students across the Bay Area at almost 300 partner schools. These services include:

  • personalized student 1-on-1 and drop-in advising
  • informative college workshops and events for students and families
  • comprehensive support for college applications and financial aid
  • school college fairs
  • college tours and field trips

We supplement our every day services with fostering academic growth through summer and school-year enrichment programs, addressing the critical issue of summer melt engagement, and promoting STEAM pathway enrichment.

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Several programs in CEP offer academic programming to middle and high school students.  These academic enrichment programs are offered during the academic year as well as in the summer.  Most of our enrichment programs take place at UC Berkeley to offer students a positive pre-college experience on a major university campus.  The programs vary in length and content, but are mission driven, helping students to become stronger college applicants and prepare for the academic rigors of the following school year and beyond.
