 Dear reader,
If you’ve been following our “Guidance Gap” series, you’ve read how students are hurt by a critical shortage of school counselors, and are far too often left to their own devices when it comes to navigating college and career decisions.
The series also spotlights potential solutions, including this program that’s been guiding recent high school graduates through the summer before college, a critical time for low-income students in particular. Even more heartening: The help is coming from peer coaches, an approach we’ve seen in the film Personal Statement, whose producers we’ve been partnering with to draw attention to this issue.
We love stories of hope and promise as the school year begins, a blank slate waiting to be filled. Tell us yours!
