Preparing Urban Students for Success in Higher Education (PUSH)

“Freedom House is filled with love and faith to take you where you want to be”
Kenira

PUSH Programs works with BPS students of color who come from marginalized communities, including first-generation college and immigrant students. We found that many of our students from these communities lack resources and exposure for navigating life. We combat this by equipping them with a post-secondary plan, self-advocacy development, and life skills.

PUSH provides a holistic approach to learning, which prioritizes academics,social-emotional, professional exposure, economic development, and civic engagement.

As a result, our students graduate high school and 100% of these graduates pursue a post-secondary credential. They inspire those around them, as well as those who come after them, by breaking barriers and graduating from post-secondary opportunities all while developing a mindset to give back to their communities.
