College students are positioned to make a real impact on young people whose parents were not able to go to College themselves. They want their children to have the opportunity. But they don't know what is needed.
Research shows that African, Hispanic and Native Americans who begin College will have an excellent chance to graduate based on two factors that come from their "roots". The first is that they want to do so for their family. The second is that they have a spiritual foundation to turn the obstacles into opportunities.
We in Life Directions want to encourage young people to see College as a real possibility. This is where we see college students as Peer Animators. It begins by getting to know each other. The conversation will naturally flow into the practical points to consider to be get ready. Everything from how much home work to what school would be possible based on what the young person wants to study.
We are in need of such college students in Chicago and Detriot at this time. If you are someone who wants to explore the possibility or you know anyone who wants to give some time to be a Peer Animator, respond to this message and we will begin the conversation.
