GRASP Early Awareness Outreach

Middle school students learn about the building blocks of college access with GRASP at ChamberRVA’s Mission Tomorrow!

GRASP participates in the annual ChamberRVA Mission Tomorrow event, providing information and resources to students about exploring career options, including skilled trades, and the post-secondary educational pathways required to attain them. It’s never too early for students to start thinking about their futures!

GRASP offers our “On Track for College” presentation for middle school students and parents through our Speakers Bureau. Presentations are offered free of charge for schools and community groups.
