This initiative partners with students and their families (primarily first opportunity college students) to achieve higher education and career goals. This bilingual program includes individualized college guidance counseling, scholarship application support, college tours, career discernment, and a guaranteed scholarship for Harmony Project KC graduates.
For our youngest learners (K-8), our program meets families where they are by providing connections to tutoring, school navigation support through community partners (e.g. Show Me KC Schools), and career exploration opportunities.
For high school students, the Path to College program has a more robust and intense offering:
- We partner with the Hispanic Development Fund (HDF) for individualized college counseling, workshops, and tours. In 2024, HDF and the NECC received Nonprofit Connect's Stronger Together award in recognition of our collaboration.
- We partner with the DeBruce Foundation to offer Agilities training to high school students to support their career exploration.
- NECC is dedicated to closing the access gap by providing Board-designated scholarships for HPKC graduates to support them in continuing their education.
