Building a Stronger Future: Collaborative Efforts by CFCAN and YMCA Teen Achievers

The Central Florida College Access Network (CFCAN) and YMCA Teen Achievers unite to enhance college and career readiness for local teens, especially first-generation college students. With support from community volunteers and partners, they aim to break down barriers to college admission and enhance persistence in postsecondary education. Through innovative programs like the "Going to College" texting initiative and strategic collaboration, they target minority and low-income students to improve college enrollment rates and degree attainment in Central Florida.
