​College Boot Camp

​Since 2016, Chester County Futures has hosted an annual College Boot Camp, a one-day event held in late summer where we provide our high school graduates with the tools they need to succeed in their first year of college and beyond! Throughout the day, our students learn a variety of valuable life skills through interactive workshops led by local professionals in their respective fields. 

​These workshops take students deep into topics such as financial literacy, time management techniques, creative thinking, and mindful self-care practices to help manage stress and anxiety. Our guest speakers share their experiences and their tools for success with our students to help them thrive.

At our College Boot Camp, students have the opportunity to ask questions about college life, financial aid, and personal finance and budgeting.

Students also have a chance to learn more about early career development, and receive guidance for questions like, "What if college isn't for me?"
