Success Stories

 "Career Compass has been a great help to me. I finally feel like someone wants to help me. They have done so much to help me and a lot of the students here, and we all appreciate them very much."
-Jasmin Doss, Woodlawn High School, Class of 2008

"Career Compass helped me pay for my ACT and apply to the college I desired, and they broke down every single aspect about preparing for college. They've been such a help that I was one of the first seniors to be accepted into a four-year college. When somebody comes up to me and asks me who can help them prepare for college, before I say teachers, counselors, or other school personnel, I say Career Compass."
-James Wilson, Broadmoor High School, Class of 2007

"As a senior at Woodlawn High, Career Compass has helped me greatly. They have helped me fill out my application for OLOL, paid my application fee and also helped me with FAFSA. I truly appreciate their help and time."
-Paloma Sanders, Woodlawn High School, Class of 2007

"Career Compass has been very helpful to me this school year. Career Compass has not only assisted me in registering for the ACT, but also paid for it. They have helped me obtain information about financing college, including filling out my FAFSA and searching for scholarships. The guidance and encouragement they have given me has made me feel more secure about these important decisions for my future."
-Tu Cap, Broadmoor High School, Class of 2007

"This program is amazing. I was fascinated with it from my first day hearing them speak about it and now I am more fascinated with how much help and how nice Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Scott are. Career Compass is very helpful and I appreciate and thank God for them. I know if other kids are given this chanc, they will too."
