The Keystone Network offers a multi-year, scaffolded college and career readiness program for high school students in partnership with school districts.
We deliver services directly to students, either during the school day or as part of extended learning and enrichment programming. We can provide comprehensive student counseling services, or tailor our offerings to complement existing counseling programs.
Our inclusive programs are designed to support first-generation, low-income, and under-resourced students.
Our partnerships help schools expand their capacity by providing individualized advising and mentorship without increasing staff workload.
Our offerings include group and individual coaching that grows with students through each year of high school and beyond.
We help with goal-setting, career exploration, managing coursework, extracurriculars, and deadlines, and college planning, as well as exploring alternatives to traditional 4-year colleges. Dynamic networking events, excursions, and group activities keep young people engaged while building their social skills and confidence.
“Monica has been an incredible mentor and invaluable asset since the moment I met her… She is someone who genuinely cares about others and is passionate about helping them succeed.
Her guidance has been crucial in my decision to continue my education. Asking for help has always been difficult for me, as I have always had to navigate my academics on my own. But with Monica as my mentor, I have never felt alone in the journey through higher education.
Her support has inspired me, and I hope to one day help others the way she has helped—and continues to help—me.”
