Why It Matters
- Community colleges play a significant role in equitably supporting BIPOC communities, economically disadvantaged youth, and first-generation college students.
- Dual enrollment and early college are powerful college access tools, but they require a holistic approach combining outreach, student supports, and high-quality instruction.
How We Help
- Achieving the Dream helps colleges contribute to building a seamless pathway for students to travel from high school through college and into family-sustaining careers.
- Our dual enrollment services focus on innovative strategies to foster increased college readiness, access, and completion for students from vulnerable populations — the core of the ATD mission.
- We facilitate connections between colleges, college networks, and high schools, identifying existing systemic barriers and engaging disconnected youth to help communities meet their postsecondary attainment goals.
