College Access for All
See you in
The JCYC College Access Programs’ second annual Excellence in Education Awards will celebrate the achievements of our students, educators, and 46 years of our unwavering commitment to equitable access to higher education. We will recognize pioneers who have been nominated by members of our community and carefully selected by JCYC staff and our Board of Directors. These will include a school staff members and students. The goal of this event is to recognize the achievements of students and educators and help to ensure that JCYC’s College Access programs can maintain high-quality academic and educational services for students from low-income and first-generation backgrounds.
The Awards
The Beyond Boundaries Award honors a low-income, first-generation college-bound student who has triumphed over significant barriers to achieving educational success.
The Friend of JCYC College Access Award honors individuals whose partnership and support have been instrumental in advancing the mission of the JCYC College Access Programs. Through their generous contributions of time, resources, and expertise, the awardees have significantly impacted the lives of countless students and families served by the JCYC College Access Programs.
The Catalyst of Change Award recognizes school staff whose commitment and contributions exceed expectations for our partnership and student success. These staff members seek opportunities to collaborate with colleagues, parents, and stakeholders to implement initiatives that enhance student learning and well-being.
