What We Do
Carolina Youth Coalition (CYC) is a FREE college access and persistence program that nurtures and propels high-achieving, under-resourced students to and through college. CYC prepares motivated, hardworking students with financial need to enter, excel in, and graduate from college. CYC's after-school Torch Fellows program provides ACT prep, writing coaching, college and scholarship guidance, mentorship, and connection to community members and adults that care about educational equity.
CYC's Persistence Program provides individualized, holistic assistance to college students as they transition to their first-year and after, toward degree attainment. #everydreamneedsateam #power2theyouth
