We are a not-for-profit organization (our parent organization is I Know I Can) that seeks to provide a platform of learning, support, and character building for academically motivated high school students from low income households. Through our successful mentorship model and highly skilled team of volunteers, we are able to position our program mentees well in the college admission process.  

Our program is looking for high school juniors in the Columbus and Chicago metropolitan school systems that have a strong desire to attend college and good work ethic. Students must demonstrate this desire through classroom excellence as provided by teacher reccomendations and grades. In addition to being driven academically, students must demostrate leadership and service qualities. Check out other sections of our website for more information about HighRise Academy and the "For Mentees" section for more information about how to apply.
