Who We Are
Bright Prospect was founded in 2002 to break intergenerational cycles of poverty by increasing access and support to higher education opportunities for students. We provide year round college access for low-income, first generation high school and college students, emphasizing a “to and through college" model. Our signature program components include academic support, life-skills training, social-emotional learning, and individualized mentorship. Our goals have always been to improve the education, and consequently, the economic standing of at-promise youth in our community
