DC2UNI is a college access program made by DC Natives for DC Natives to help DC students not just get to college, but THROUGH college. Currently 14% of DC High School students will graduate from high school and college, 24% will graduate highschool, go to college but not graduate. DC2UNI hopes to alleviate this problem by giving students access to resources that will prepare them for college and then showing them resources that will help them get to and stay in college. We hope to not stop there though! It's a goal of DC2UNI to bring DC students home after they graduate from college, becoming leaders in our community who will deals with issues of gentrification, violence, education inequality, poverty and more within our community.
