Postsecondary Leadership Teams: A Strategic Collaboration to Increase College Enrollment for First Generation, Low-Income, and Underrepresented Populations
The National College Advising Corps places near-peer college advisers within high
schools to collaborate with school counselors, principals, and teachers to increase the college
going rate among underrepresented, low-income and first generation college students. Advising
Corps college advisers collaborate strategically with partner schools through Postsecondary
Leadership Teams to reach common college access goals and outcomes.

What makes the Advising Corps unique.
Collaboration - key to our programMentioned early what all schools have in common, in terms of population, but every school is different, even two schools down the roadPart of the challenge for advisers is to tailor activities to needs of schoolRigorous training and best practices, but no prescribed way of doing “college access” - armed with a tool kit to adjust to their school
