Pre-College Training

Rather than worrying about where they will go to college or how they will pay for it, Act Six scholars spend the seven months before college preparing to succeed and lead.

Starting in February, the cadres meet together weekly to:

• establish supportive friendships and grow as a team
• hone study and time-management strategies
• build intercultural and community leadership skills
• wrestle with important and challenging social issues

In addition to the weekly meetings, the program includes:

• week-end retreats and conferences
• family workshops and social events
• additional visits to the college campus
• an extended summer expedition

After seven months of training with their cadre, Act Six scholars begin college ready to engage the campus and community with a built-in support system and a sense of purpose as service-minded leaders and agents of transformation.
