Our work would not be possible without partner communities and school districts.

We look for several attributes in our partners: a commitment to college access from district and school leadership and a willingness to  co-invest with us to support the cost of training and placing advisers in high-need high schools.

"I enjoyed all of my time spent in the program because it was a very raw experience for me. I got nothing but honest feedback, advice, and help. There were essential things that would not have been completed and would haven been gotten overlooked if it wasn't for the help of HHYEP. ”
