We do so in pursuit of a vision that, one day, the diversity of those occupying our nation’s highly-skilled jobs and highest leadership positions will be as rich as the diversity of our population.
With a 13-year long track record, at least 95% of our students gain admission into a top college and our alumni graduate college with minimal or no debt. And nearly all of our students graduate from these highly-competitive colleges within four years.
Each year, TeenSHARP serves hundreds of students and their families through high-touch,high-caliber pre-college, academic, and leadership development programs.
From our inception in 2009, our organization has grown from serving 10 students to over 400 enrolled today, and 400 total graduates.
Our Approach: At TeenSHARP we believe that students are capable of so much more than schools typically ask of them. We hold high academic and leadership standards for all scholars and employ a “Whatever It Takes” approach to ensure they have a robust support system to achieve their goals. Our advisors work to develop scholars through timely, candid feedback, introducing opportunities to gain top leadership and professional experiences, and providing strategic academic advising and coaching.

Key competencies:
● Problem-solving: you are able to identify the root cause of challenges that students experience while providing a secure space for students to take agency over solutions. You use a partnership approach with students and parents to develop and implement advising strategies, using scaffolding techniques to support students’ progress. Your recommendations are based in research and unapologetically student-centered.
