College & Career Preparation

Empowering Latinx Students for a Bright Future

LEAF is thrilled to introduce the College & Career Preparation Program! Specifically designed for middle and high school students from East San José who will be the first in their families to attend college, this transformative initiative provides young scholars with the essential knowledge, tools, and resources to confidently navigate higher education and pursue meaningful career opportunities.

Why This Matters

As a first-generation student, navigating college and career pathways can feel overwhelming. This program is here to change that. By focusing on culturally relevant guidance, we’re closing gaps in access and empowering our scholars to dream bigger and achieve more.
