our mission
Reality Changers transforms lives by providing youth from disadvantaged backgrounds with the academic support, financial assistance, and leadership training to become college graduates.
A three-stage
college readiness program
We surround struggling 8th graders with positive peer role models so that they can succeed together. By the time they reach 12th grade, all students are prepared for our intensive, year-long course to guide them through the college application process. After graduating from the program, our alumni network offers lifetime support to our students, for college and beyond.
