College Resource Center


Make an Impact on Your Own Time


Concerned about committing to a full mentoring position because of your busy schedule? Think about volunteering at CYC's College Resource Center. You can still have that connection with enthusiastic students when your busy schedule allows. The College Resource Center is a multipurpose resource center for students seeking further education after high school. CRC features:

  • Web-based college resources and tools for college-related searches
     
  • Assistance in completing college admission applications
     
  • Assistance in completing financial aid applications
     
  • Individualized assistance and support

The centers are open to the public and available to students, parents, and counselors in the Greater Cincinnati area. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that 70 percent of the 30 fastest-growing jobs nationally will require education beyond high school. Research shows that students who come from families with no tradition of seeking higher education often are eager to go to college, yet few take the necessary steps to get there. Any time you give to the CRC helps inspire students on their path to college. Volunteer today!
