College Success Program
JMG's College Success Program begins in high school through bridging services. It continues seamlessly through college by providing proactive support to ensure students persist toward the attainment of a degree and/or credentials of value. By partnering with Maine colleges, the College Success Program plays a critical role in students' success.
JMG has College Success Specialists on 15 Maine college and university campuses who provide students with individualized services, including academic, social, and financial support, which can mean the difference between students completing college or stopping out.
The College Success Program supports enrolled students toward degree attainment; if a student does stop out because of life circumstances, JMG's Pathway Navigation services keep students connected to post-secondary pathways, including the pursuit of credentials of value.
Eligible students include those who were part of a JMG program in middle school or high school, youth in foster care or have been in foster care, and college students who received their GED within the last five years.
“JMG is my family forever.”
Arsene Badose’s story is a testament to the transformative power of the JMG College Success Program. A former student of JMG, Arsene faced the myriad of challenges that come with the collegiate experience. However, with bridging from his JMG High School Specialist, Michelle Bourne, and then with the guidance and support of his JMG College Success Specialists, Randy Inosencio and Carlo Bufano, he navigated his way to success.
“I’m actually going to college. I was accepted.”
Victoria Boone was the first person in her family to ever step foot on a college campus as a student. Victoria said, “JMG has changed and shaped my life in ways I can’t even explain. They believed in me when it felt like no one else did.” Victoria was able to use JMG Emergency Funds when she needed them and had the support of her JMG Specialist, Tara Gray, every step of the way.
