Peer Forward

Our Mission

PeerForward transforms the lives of low-income youth by connecting them to college and careers through our innovative program, PeerForward. The PeerForward Method guides students to make postsecondary education plans by tapping a resource found in every single high school in the nation: influential students. It is informed and validated by research on the key actions essential for postsecondary degree attainment. We train teams of influential students to run campaigns in their schools driving actions that research shows are the leading indicators to eventual postsecondary enrollment and success: filing for financial aid, applying to at least three institutions, and connecting career aspirations with academic decisions made in high school.
