The Challenge:
Breaking Barriers to Higher Education
In Pennsylvania,
60% OF JOB OPENINGS
require workers to have post-secondary education or trade certification.
College graduates can make over
$1.2 MILLION MORE
in their life span than if they did not have a college degree.

Student Testimonies
“Chester County Futures helped me a lot and I will always be grateful! During my senior year I was so stressed out about applying to schools, writing papers and majoring. But I had many resources in CCF that helped me step by step and didn’t let me fall behind.”
— WENDY, CCF ALUMNI
“I received step-by-step guidance on my college selection as well as guidance throughout college. I received an internship at IMC Construction thanks to CCF! This internship allowed me to start connections for my career after college. I now have a good chance of getting a full-time job secured before I graduate!”
— EDWIN, CCF ALUMNI
“My time in CCF prepared me for life after high school by helping me grow in confidence, build strong values, and develop a clear sense of direction for my future college and career goals.”
