The winter session of College Compass, our college access and success program, is up and running! Students who received their GEDs from such programs as The Next Step Public Charter School and Marshall Heights Academy have been taking math, writing, and study skills courses as well as working with a student advisor to get ready for college. Huge thanks to Catholic University and the YWCA who have partnered with BT so that students can benefit from their campus and site resources!
