- Assist youth in identifying long-term educational and personal goals and developing career plans, including course selection, goal setting, academic improvement, and exposure to STEM and other career/workforce development opportunities.
- Aid youth in securing financial assistance through grants, scholarships, internships, assistantships, etc.

- Keep up with industry best practices to ensure youth are prepared and meet program enrollment requirements and deadlines.
- Equip youth with practical resume writing, job searching, interviewing, and networking skills.
- Facilitate workshops designed to enhance youth soft and hard skills in professionalism, time management, communication etiquette, growth mindset, and organizational skills.
- Provide youth entering college or struggling academically with effective studying and notetaking techniques, test-taking strategies, and other critical college navigation tips.
