HERO
The HERO Initiative (Higher Education Readiness Opportunity) is designed to increase college readiness for underrepresented youth. HERO is open to both males and females, but a high percentage of participants are young men of color. The HERO program operates in schools in both Washington State and Washington, D.C.
HERO advisors work with 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard but are falling short of their potential. HERO provides support directly to students, their families, and academic communities to ensure that they have the resources necessary to help them build their academic and leadership abilities.
HERO provides the following services:
- Academic Advising
- After School Programs
- Leadership Development
- Motivational Speakers
- College Awareness
- College Visitation Programs
- Test Preparation and Information
- Academic Enrichment
Early outreach programs such as GEAR UP, College Ed, and College Bound, support the work of HERO.
