The Groundwork for Success Program, run by the non-profit organization Groundwork Inc., provides high-school students with countless opportunities for academic, professional, and personal growth, and has a high rate of graduating scholars that make it into some of the nation’s top colleges and universities.
“My school didn’t really have resources like SAT Prep classes or FAFSA workshops, to be honest I didn’t even think about applying to schools outside of the CUNY system actually I didn’t believe I could even get into the senior colleges in the CUNY system and now I attend NYU and it’s because of Groundwork,” says Joel Marte, a 2007 Groundwork for Success graduate.
