KIPP Forward Team

Our role on the team: We support alumni who are in the 9th and 10th grade as they begin their high school careers and prepare for their next steps after high school. We help alumni navigate the academic and socio-emotional transition to high school. We also facilitate students’ exploration of personal interests and strengths, guiding students as they start to match their passions to possible careers and postsecondary pathways.

Our role on the team: We support KIPP alums as they plan their post-secondary journeys. We assist students with the college and career program wishlist, application, financial aid and matriculation process. In addition, we build relationships with high school guidance counselors, community organizations and college admission teams to create a stronger network of support for our students. During the summer, we run the Countdown to College program for our rising high school Seniors, during which alumni have the opportunity to earn a college credit from the University of Baltimore and attend KIPP Forward Sessions in which they get a head start on the college application process. We also invite 10th and 11th grade alums to connect with us when needed, and we encourage them to engage in our KIPP Forward Connector meetings throughout the year.

 
Our role on the team: We work to help KIPP Baltimore alums successfully navigate their lives after high school and realize their individual educational and professional goals. We meet with post-secondary alumni by phone, or on campus if they are college-enrolled, to assist with career planning, financial aid, academics, and socio-emotional needs. During the summers we support post-secondary students as they complete matriculation into their intended education, military, or certification pathway. The alumni persistence team is committed to supporting students of all pathways, including CTE, military, college and more.
