By Kimberly Morgan-West | Senior Goal Card Program Coordinator
As our Goal Card students and their families adjust to the “new normal” with regards to social distancing and online learning, RISE is making sure that they know that the Goal Card Program is continuously working to assist them.
To maintain the safety of our program participants, Goal Card has shifted to online programming for the 2020-2021 school year. The essence of the Goal Card program remains intact— our incentives program continues, report card evaluations to determine our students’ progress continues, our virtually hosted Redemptions with coaches continues, and online financial literacy lessons with our participating school sites have been facilitated via virtual conferencing and various social media platforms.
The Goal Card Grad program is especially geared up and ready to assist high school seniors during these uncertain times. The purpose of this program is to provide direct support and related resources to our graduating seniors while aiding with the development of soft skills and post-secondary placement. During their virtual senior assessments, Goal Card Coordinators discuss seniors ACT scores and post-secondary plans. Goal Card Grad is a tremendous resource and keeps seniors connected to events such as the Virtual FAFSA Frenzy sponsored by The Destiny House. Every Wednesday in October they will host a free FAFSA session to guide parents and students through the application process.
RISE IS STILL HERE FOR OUR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS.
