Project Title: Mentoring Empowers
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Capital Partners for Education (CPE) mentors low-income high school and college students in the academic middle (starting with GPAs between 2.3 – 3.1) from the Washington, DC area to provide the skills and experiences they need to successfully complete college and to excel in the workforce. Our Mentoring Empowers project will provide needed academic enrichment and mentoring services to over 500 low-income students in the academic middle in FY2020. While there are many programs that support youth from low-income backgrounds with the highest grades or those with the lowest, there are far fewer supporting students in the academic middle on the cusp of college eligibility. CPE provides these students with a comprehensive youth development curriculum through the facilitation of long-term one-to-one mentoring relationships, individualized staff support, and career preparation and workforce development opportunities. <\/p>\n
According to the Kids Count Data center, 26% of DC youth live in poverty (Annie E. Casey Foundation). In addition to coming from low-income families, these students are often the first in their family to attend college. Currently, 80% of CPE students are first-generation to college, 99% are students of color, and 100% are from low-income households. In many cases, they do not have the knowledge, guidance, or resources to access college and graduate with the skills necessary to thrive in the workforce. Without a college degree, low-income students struggle to access high-wage, high-growth jobs and break cycles of poverty. In our work to help low-income DC families break multi-generational cycles of poverty, our goal is to ensure all of our students 1) obtain a Bachelor\u2019s degree, and 2) build a concrete set of work readiness skills, experiences, and networks necessary to thrive in successful careers. We are growing our program each year, so that by 2021 we will serve 650 students annually.<\/p>\n
