CBI places full-time college guidance counselors in public schools to work one-on-one with students to help them get to and through college. Last year, CollegeBound served over 18,000 students at 36 underserved schools.

C4Q is a job-training program based in Queens, NY that prepares unemployed and underemployed individuals for careers in software coding. Last year, C4Q placed more than 40 students into jobs with an average salary of $80,000.
