    I recently came across this facility that offers civic engagement opportunities as well as takes an initiative to better the lives of aspiring young professionals on their way to college. Here is a little information aout them and the link to review their website.
    Our Commitment: To help young people achieve self-sufficiency and put them on the path to upward social mobility through:
    *Elevating their academic performance,
    *Coaching them to persist and succeed in college in order to attain better career options,
    *Providing civic engagement training and projects.
    * Engaging parents and the entire community in supporting educational excellence.

    About the Organization:
    2012, the Freedom House Board established a new direction for the organization to scale our programs to serve more young people and work towards doubling the college graduation rate. We connect our historic legacy of success in the civil rights movement and first mover status in college access and success programming to the critical 21st century view of the need to graduate more young people from college particularly those from immigrant, minority or low income backgrounds. Freedom House is clear that a high quality high school education coupled with a college degree are worthwhile investments and pathways to opportunity and upward social mobility. Closing the opportunity divide and eliminating disparities in educational attainment are community development challenges that Freedom House is uniquely poised to address.

    Our Mission: To transform the economic and cultural fabric of high-need communities through education and leadership development.
