How you help	Let’s Get Ready is built on relationships and we need both college students and adult volunteers to provide the ongoing mentorships our students need to close the education gap.

About us	Studies show that by 2020, 65% of job openings in the United States will require a postsecondary degree. Yet compared to their higher-income peers, students from low-income backgrounds are less than half as likely to attend college, or even apply to a well-matched one, and only one-fifth as likely to graduate. Let’s Get Ready’s peer-driven Program Model empowers our students to close that achievement gap. Services are provided by volunteer college students who also serve as role models and mentors.
