What is Pre-College?

Georgetown University's Pre-College programs are dedicated to empowering middle and high school students to succeed academically and prepare for college. Currently, we are gearing up for our Saturday Academy, where students from 7th to 9th grade will be on campus receiving support and mentorship. This program is designed to guide students towards high school graduation and future college success through workshops, academic assistance, and community-building activities.

If you are passionate about supporting youth education and interested in making a difference, the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access (CMEA) welcomes volunteers to get involved. Our Kids2College Program starts in the spring! Volunteering your time with these bright young students can be a rewarding way to contribute to their academic journey and future success.
