Giving Back
Although students have ambitious educational and career aspirations, more than one-fifth of high school students are not graduating in four years, according to the Department of Education. These students do not have the essential information, resources, or support to prepare for college effectively – they need help to direct them toward the path of college and career readiness. The NSCS Planning to Achieve Collegiate Excellence (PACE) Program empowers college students at NSCS chapters across the country to create local programs with a school or organization; this partnership helps increase the likelihood that those students graduate from high school and are effectively prepared for college. PACE consists of the following three components.
Mentoring/Tutoring Program:
As part of this program, NSCS members participate in K-12 mentoring programs and we are excited to partner with the nonprofit tutoring organization Learn To Be in order to accomplish our mission with PACE. Through this partnership, our members make an impact by tutoring and mentoring students from underserved communities in a virtual setting.
Chapter Assemblies:
NSCS chapters host assemblies at partnering schools on various topics covering college preparedness (i.e., expectations, financial aid, helpful high school courses).
March to College™ Day:
NSCS chapters host PACE program participants on their campus for a day of activities to give them an example of what a day in the life of a college student can feel like.
NSCS has partnered with Active Minds
The nation’s leading nonprofit, working to empower young adults to change the culture around mental health.
