Many students from low-income or first-generation households lack the guidance, social capital, and resources needed to navigate college and career decisions, so GWNCR empowers them to transition successfully from high school into high-paying career fields. Through a rigorous 8-week summer program, students gain tangible business, technical, and professional skills in areas such as project management, public speaking, and networking. Guest lectures and interviews with business and STEM professionals further broaden their horizons, leading to paid year-long internships with corporate partners. Summer program alumni continue to earn professional Google certifications through a partnership with Coursera and work with GWNCR staff to select, apply to, and plan for college. Each year, 100% of participants graduate from high school. With a median alumni income of $70,000, GWNCR provides youth with a clear pathway to success.
