The impact of a college degree goes beyond the individual student, elevating possibilities for friends, families, and all of us who benefit from a more informed and empowered society.CAN was founded with a commitment to provide personalized practical support for highly-motivated, low-income students in our local Seattle Public Schools. Volunteers began serving 29 high school seniors at Garfield High School in 2005. CANs grassroots beginnings have grown to include evidence-based college access curriculum assisting students in pursuit of a college degree. Over the years, CANs High School Program model has scaled to serve both juniors and seniors at additional high schools. And in 2012, CAN launched a College Persistence Program to offer formal support to students through college graduation.CAN is a college access and completion program serving 1,600 students in the 2015-2016 academic year - including 700 students at 7 Seattle area high schools and over 900 students at colleges across Washington State and the country. Students join CAN's program in junior or senior year of high school - receiving intensive one-on-one and general coaching from our core team of AmeriCorps coaches, volunteers, and staff until they secure that all important college degree.
