Volunteers Wanted!!
SOCK (Share Our College Knowledge) is a coaching program for first generation students who are in the process of applying to college. Each SOCK student/family is paired with a volunteer from the Milton community who has been through the college planning process and who will help connect their student with numerous resources throughout the year. As a “college coach,” you will join your student periodically at the high school for workshops about various college-related topics and will stay in touch with your student via text/email/phone throughout the year to ensure they are on schedule with key deadlines, to encourage them to consider schools that are a good match both academically and financially, and to ensure that they understand the financial implications of their final college choice. You will also have the opportunity to attend college visits and join your student to meet with experienced college counselors at American Student Assistance in Boston to review financial aid award letters and help your student make an informed decision about college debt. |
