LGR Partner Talks

Let’s Get Ready (LGR) partners with amazing institutions, school districts, charter school networks, CBOs, and nonprofit organizations across the country. Many of LGR’s students have the support of multiple communities to support their journey to a college degree. LGR Partner Talks explores the larger ecosystem of partners, program staff, and coaches that are bridging the gap for LGR students.

“In Maine we have a high, high school graduation rate and a low college matriculation rate, nationally, so in terms of scalability when we’re serving this population of students; that’s what Let’s Get Ready enables us to do. We are able to scale and also provide those wraparound supports to meet students where they are and provide those resources to make sure students are successful.” – Dr. Amy Hubbard (University of Maine System)

In Philadelphia, school counselor, Carmen Rodi, sees so many of the barriers that a student can face and her goal is to alleviate as many of those roadblocks as possible… and that’s where LGR comes in the picture! LGR has been working with Furness High School students for years more than doubling their college enrollment rates!
