Induction

Every spring, Champions For Learning has the privilege of inducting a new class of 8th grade students from Collier County middle schools into our College and Career Prep Programs. These programs support students from low-income households on their journey to high school graduation and post-secondary success. Beginning in 8th grade, students benefit from a combination of caring volunteer mentorship, guidance from a College Success Coach, foundational workshops, and life-skills development. As they progress, students engage in more hands-on experiences focused on college access, financial aid, and career pathways.

Through our Take Stock in Children and Pathways to Success tracks, students receive the support they need to build a strong future. This induction event brings together students, families, and mentors as they commit to giving their best effort and making the most of the opportunities ahead.
