COLLEGE AND CAREER R-E-D™ (CCR) is a college and career video-based preparation program that provides culturally relevant interactive videos (CCRTV) and live virtual sessions (CCRLIVE) for high school students across the United States. CCR provides services for ALL students but especially bottom-quartile and academic bubble students in low performing high schools. Our vision is to end generational poverty by helping students become Ready, Empowered, and Determined to graduate on-time from high school, attend a college or post-secondary institution, attain an essential career, and ultimately become economically independent.
