College Beyond helps students across Southeastern Louisiana enroll in and complete college by providing trauma-informed coaching, weekly workshops, career exposure, and pre-college programming. Our mission is to ensure that a student's socioeconomic background is not a barrier to attaining a degree and transitioning into a successful career.

Through our programs, students receive individualized coaching, career exploration opportunities, and the structured support needed to persist in college and graduate. Weekly workshops equip students with academic, financial, and personal skills to navigate college life successfully.

Last year, we expanded partnerships with community youth programs, strengthening support for high school students and ensuring a seamless transition into college.

Our first-to-second-year persistence rate stands at 79%, significantly surpassing the Louisiana state average of 61%, demonstrating the effectiveness of our student-centered approach.

By supporting College Beyond, you are helping students achieve their college and career aspirations and making a measurable difference in students' lives.
