Promoting Equity in
Postsecondary Attainment of the Capital Region
Developing a College-Going Culture
One Thing
To increase college and career readiness, participation, and completion, particularly among low-income, first-generation college-going students and students of color.
Readiness
Fostering Skills and Knowledge You Need to Be Ready for Education Beyond High School
We strive to make sure the students we serve feel confident before, during and after their journey toward postsecondary education. For whatever situation presents itself, they'll know how to handle it or who to turn to for guidance.

Navigating the Steps Toward Postsecondary Education - Advising, Applications, and Aid
We specialize in helping students navigate the steps toward college. With support from our college advisers in and around the Capital Region's high schools, we're able to make sure students have the college resources they need to pursue their dreams.

Reconnecting Those Who've Stepped Away from Education with the Tools They Need to Continue Toward Postsecondary Certification
Helping students complete a college degree or credential is just as critical as getting them enrolled to start with. At CapCAN, we are dedicated to working in partnership with our higher education institutions to find young adults who may have stepped away from education after high-school or reconnecting those adults who may have some college, but no degree. We provide personal and customized support to adults to help them navigate the post-secondary process and link them to a wide range of community resources through our partnership with United Way to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful.

Supporting Your Educational Pathway from College to Career
