| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 | TEENSHARP IS A COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND YOUTH LEADERHSIP NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT BRIDGES DISPARITIES IN COLLEGE ACCESS AND SUCCESS FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR. MANY OF OUR STUDENTS DO NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT TO PREPARE FOR COLLEGE, WHICH IS UNSURPRISING CONSIDEREING THAT THE AVERAGE RATIO OF SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO STUDENTS IS 1:444 (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR COLLEGE ADMISSION COUNSELING). SADLY, THESE DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO COLLEGE ADVISING DISPROPORTIOINATELY AFFECT LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR; FURTHER, STUDENTS OF COLOR ARE ALSO AT INCREASED RISK OF BEING UNDER-MATCHED (ATTENDING INSTITUTIONS FOR WHICH THEY ARE OVER-QUALIFIED). TEENSHARP EMPLOYES AN INTENSIVE APPROACH THAT HAS HELPED OUR STUDENTS GROW AS LEADERS AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL SCHOLARS AT SOME OF THE BEST INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING IN THE NATION. THROUGH OUR COLLEGE ACCESS AND SUCCESS WORK, WE PROVIDE ACADEMIC, LEADERSHIP, AND CAREER PREPARATION TO HIGH-POTENTIAL, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY STUDENTS IN 9TH-12TH GRADE. STUDENTS ATTEND ALL-DAY SATURDAY PROGRAMMING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE OR RUTGERS- CAMDEN, COMPLETING TWO COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES PER YEAR AS WELL AS SEMINARS TO TEACH THEM SKILLS SUCH AS TIME MANAGEMENT AND SUCCESSFUL ACADEMIC HABITS. STUDENTS ALO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM ACADEMIC ADVISORS, WHO WORK WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS AREAS FOR GROWTH, AND THESE SUPPORTS CONTINUTE THROUGH COLLEGE. FINALLY, WE HELP HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS IDENTIFY, APPLY FOR, AND SUCCEED IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR AND CAREER-RELATED OPPORTUNITIES (E.G., INTERNSHIPS, JOB SHADOWS, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, AND COMPETITIVE SUMMER PROGRAMS). OUR RESEARCH-BASED, UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND COLLEGE ADVISING HAS PRODUCED OUTCOMES THAT SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEED THOSE REPORTED BY MOST LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL PROGRAMS; 100% OF OUR STUDENTS ATTEND FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS AFTER GRADUATION, WITH 95% ATTENDING HIGHLY SELECTIVE INSTITUTIONS. TEENSHARP SUPPORTS START EARLY AND LAST THROUGH COLLEGE. STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12 TAKE PART IN THE PROGRAMS IDENTIFIED IN FORM 990 PART III. TEENSHARP PROVIDES OUR SCHOLARS WITH THE TYPE OF SERVICES AND SUPPORTS THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS AT ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR THROUGH A HIRED COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CONSULTANT. THIS INTENVSIVE APPROACH HAS HELPED OUR STUDENTS GROW AS LEADERS AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL SCHOLARS AT SOME OF BEST INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING IN THE NATION. STUDENTS' CHALLENGES DO NOT END ONCE THEY ENROLL IN COLLEGE, AND NEITHER DOES TEENSHARP'S COMMITMENT TO STUDENT SUCCESS. STUDENTS OF COLOR AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS ARE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO ATTEND COLLEGE, AND ONCE ENROLLED THEY FACE FINANCIAL SOCIAL, AND ACADEMIC CHALLENGES, THUS LOWERING THEIR CHANCES OF COMPLETING THEIR DEGREE WITHIN SIX YEAR. TEENSHARP IS INNOVATIVE IN OUR APPROACH AS WE BEGIN PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE SUCCESS FROM THE BEGINNING; WE BOLSTER OUR STUDENTS' CHANCES FOR SUCCESS TO AND THROUGH COLLEGE BY HELPING THEM BUILD THE ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND LIFE SKILLS THEY WILL NEED TO SUCCEED IN COLLEGE AND THEN SUPPORTING THEM THROUGH TUTUORING, MENTORING, AND RESOURCE MATCHING (TO FINANCIAL AID, INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, ETC.) ONCE THEY ENROLL IN COLLEGE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE PREPARE THEM FOR THE ACADEMIC RIGOR THEY WILL FACE BY OFFERING COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES; WE ALSO PREPARE THEM FOR SOCIAL CHALLENGES AND INEQUITIES THEY MAY ENCOUNTER, HELPING THEM CONTEXTUALIZE THEIR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE BROADER POLITICAL CONTEXT, AND WE CONTINUE TO COACH THEM BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY THROUGH COLLEGE. OF PARTICULAR NOTE, WE ENCOURAGE HELP-SEEKING BEHAVIORS- A KEY PREDICTOR OF COLLEGE STUDENT SUCCESS-BY HELPING STUDENTS ENGAGE WITH PROFESSORS AND SEEK OUT ACADEMIC, CAREER, AND FINANICAL SUPPORT; WE GUIDE STUDENTS IN ACCESSING THE INCREDIBLE ON-CAMPUS RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM, SUCH AS CAREER ADVISING, INTERNSHIP, STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS, RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, FINANCIAL AID, AND ALUMNI NETWORKS. TEENSHARP'S FOCUS ON HELPING STUDENTS GAIN ADMITTANCE TO TOP-TIER COLLEGES IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE AND VALUABLE ASPECTS OF OUR WORK. TOP COLLEGES ARE THE BEST-RESOURCED FINANCIALLY, MEANING THEY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE BETTER FINANCIAL AID AND MORE ROBUST SUPPORT SERVICES TO STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR FOCUS ON INTELLECTUAL AND ACADEMIC RIGOR AND OUR "WHATEVER IT TAKES" APPROACH TO ADVISING HAVE SHOWN TREMENDOUS RESULTS. NO OTHER PROGRAMS IN THE AREA PROVIDE REAL COLLEGE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES. BY BRINGING IN ACTUAL COLLEGE PROFESSORS AND HOLDING OUR STUDENTS TO EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARDS, WE ENUSRE THE STUDENTS ARRIVE AT COLLEGE WITH THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE REQUIRED TO EXCEL. |
