Program Overview

New Horizons College Club (NHCC) provides and/or supplements the support and guidance the program participants receive at home and in their respective high schools.  We guide each participant, through the college choice process.  We not only strongly encourage each of the participants to attend college, but provide them with the information needed and means necessary to navigate through the college selection process and choose an institution of higher education which best suits their educational needs.

The program provides students with college related information regarding the SAT/ACT factors important to selecting a college or university public, private, and institutional scholarships. The services provided by the volunteer program advisors take place at weekly sessions between September and May.  The program's participants have the opportunity to learn more about campus life and college survival skills through a series of program sessions, guest speakers, and returning NHCC alumni.

The NHCC curriculum has four key topics: self-exploration, college search, financing a college education and college survival skills.  Life skills and other real life topics (e.g. racism, sexism, and discrimination) are infused into weekly sessions in the form of group discussions, and program activities.
