Interested in becoming a 6to16 mentor?
6to16, developed by the Urban Education Institute, is a college readiness curriculum and social network that it piloted in Chicago public schools in 2009. Its goal is to increase the number of urban students who are accepted to college and persist to graduation, providing a national model on how to overcome college enrollment and preparation barriers among urban youth, along with disappointing graduation rates. It starts with students early, in grade six, and supports them through college graduation, grade 16.
The 6to16 project includes a classroom and online college readiness curriculum for grades six through twelve. Another key component is a web-based social network that allows mentors, families, advisers, and peers to support and advise students as they build skills and complete key milestones. It also includes a rich repository of data about high school and college options, such as which colleges graduate the highest percentage of African American or Latino students.
