Make a real impact on the lives of Ohio students and their surrounding community by promoting college access on a personal level. Become an Ohio College Guide AmeriCorps member and serve as an access advisor, mentoring and guiding typically underserved Ohioans- first generation college-going, low-income, and minority – in getting the information and knowledge they need and deserve to make educated decisions and plans for their future. The Ohio College Guides places recent college graduates into schools and community centers to provide a pipeline of new and current information about the college-going process and experience, ultimately striving to be a caring adult committed to motivating students and families to think seriously about the plans and goals that will lead them into an opportunity-rich future. Develop advising, mentoring, interpersonal, and leadership skills, and earn an education award for future education or to pay off existing higher-education debts.
