A Better Chance, Inc.

Our goal is to increase substantially the number of well-educated young people of color who are capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society

We carry out our goal through our signature College Preparatory Schools Program (“CPSP”), across the country, which annually recruits, refers and supports about 350 A Better Chance Scholars at 200 of the nation’s leading boarding, day and public schools

Through our National Headquarters and lead by our National Director and Schools and Placements, Preparation and Success, and Scholar and Alumni Success Teams we actualize programming for families as they prepare for the independent school admissions process and build relationship with our scholars, their families and our partners to build community.

Together, we can help committed young people of color become future leaders for positive change in our global society.
