College Readiness
We aim to support the work of the West Contra Costa Unified School District, and complementary services and initiatives to support students’ academic preparation and readiness for college. While Richmond Promise does not provide direct academic services, we are building partnerships with organizations with demonstrated impact and desire to scale what works. We aim to support the efforts of WCCUSD Counselors, College & Career Centers, the efforts community partners, and seek joint grant funding to expand and deepen demonstrated best-practices.
