College Trak
Habitat for Humanity East Bay recognizes that revitalizing neighborhoods and providing homeownership opportunities should go beyond building houses – it is building relationships and community members. That is why HEB is committed to helping Habitat youth become community leaders through leadership-development and academic achievement programs like College Trak.
What:
College Trak strives to provide an environment in which the youth are comfortable and have an opportunity to express themselves freely, develop leadership skills, form bonds with other youth, and have fun! Based on the interests of the youth, HEB organizes activities that are both fun and educational. These activities range from Cal Basketball games and tours of local high-tech companies, to community service projects, SAT prep courses and one-on-one tutoring with Cal Berkeley students. The program is geared towards building strong community leaders and preparing Habitat youth for college while having fun and meeting new friends.
Who:
Children of all HEB partner families are invited to participate in the fun!
Resource:
College Trak is also a great resource to bolster the college application. HEB will help youth with the complications of the college application process and gives access to a wide pool of college students professionals for general questions. We can also help HEB youth with information on internships and scholarships that can help make college admission a reality.
