🍁🍂Fall Back to SAYA 🍁🍂

SAYA is so excited for the start of the academic year, and the return of our fall program offerings! Our College Access and Success Program team are sharing their insight on heading back to school and diving into preparing for college.

“Welcome back to school, it's going to be a great year!

Whether you're just starting out in high school or preparing to go off to college, one thing is for sure - you are learning the art of ‘adulting.’ Let me let you in on a little secret - even the most grown-uppy adults are still figuring it out, it's kind of a never-ending process of discovering new things. Whether it's inquiring about an extension on a paper or trying to make your own doctor’s appointments, SAYA has your back because even those who are the most experienced in adulting need support sometimes.”

As our high school seniors return to their academics, they will also begin applying for college, completing financial aid applications, and making big decisions about their futures. SAYA is proud to provide ongoing support and guidance through these choices, easing our youth into this key transition.

“Senior Cohort is more than just helping you get into college.

We have discussions about what life after high school looks like, whether that is college or other paths. The most important thing is figuring out what YOU want to do and how to get there. We at SAYA never push students one way or the other, our goal is to empower students to make the most informed decision that they feel is the best for them. Some students may take longer than others to figure out their path but that is okay because everyone's journey is different. 

12th grade is such a transitional period in a student's life, it is really their first step towards adulthood and all the responsibilities that come along with it. We strive to support students in gaining the skills necessary to succeed in their post-secondary journey in Senior Cohort and at SAYA broadly. Come join us and let us help you in your journey.”
