The CV Lab

CV_10

"The partnership that Learning for Life has had with College Visions has been fruitful for L4L because at the end of the day, CV is about the best interest of the student! CV has shared their expertise of working with high school students and we have shared our college culture and policy expertise. The partnership has provided allies for ALL RIC students which enables the student to persist."

LaTanya Monteiro, Educational Support Coordinator for Learning for Life at RIC
The CV Lab leverages College Visions’ expertise to train educators to practice effective college access strategies and guide first-gen students on the path to a college degree.

The CV Lab produces a powerful ripple effect, enabling CV’s model to reach thousands of first-gen youth across Rhode Island and beyond. In 2014-15 alone, College Visions trained more than 50 educators from organizations across Southern New England. The Lab provides support on topics including:

  • Identification of match colleges for low-income, first-generation students
  • Admissions advocacy and building relationships with colleges
  • FAFSA completion and affordability
  • Proactive advising for college success

Are you an educator who wants to be better prepared to guide young people to enter and graduate from college? Do you work with a school or organization that plans to build a college access program? Contact Tina Meetran at (401) 490-3996 or tina@collegevisions.org to learn how the Lab can support your work.

COLLEGE ACCESS ACADEMIES

Intense 2-3 day group training sessions at which educators learn to effectively guide low-income, first-gen youth through the college admission process.

CONSULTING & COACHING

Individualized engagements to develop educators’ college access and success coaching skills and facilitate college access and success program design.

CONVENING FOR COLLEGE ACCESS

Public events and learning communities to promote the professional growth of college access professionals.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Too many educators are asked, both formally and informally, to provide college guidance to but have little experience beyond their own path to and through college. The article below defines the scope of the problem:
