A college education can transform a person's future, dramatically increasing their earning potential and empowering them to pursue their passions. Yet for too many teens in underserved neighborhoods across Chicago, attending college seems like an impossible dream.
Putting these students on the path to college and beyond requires a deep understanding of where they come from, the challenges they face, and what they need to thrive academically and personally.And that's where College Mentoring Experience comes in. At CME, we believe that access to a college education can change the lives of youth, their families, and their communities.
