Mission

PeerForward, formerly College Summit, transforms the lives of low-income youth by connecting them to college and career.

What We Do

PeerForward was Created to Increase College Enrollment Rates of Youth From Low-Income Communities

PeerForward's mission is to unleash the power of peer influence to transform the lives of low-income youth by connecting them to college and careers. PeerForward's goal is to bridge the opportunity gap that low-income students experience in obtaining postsecondary credentials with labor market value. The education, philanthropy, and nonprofit sectors have struggled for decades to narrow this stubborn variance with mixed results; however, PeerForward's simple strategy - leveraging positive peer influence - utilizes the rich resource already abundant in every U.S. high school - influential students.
