SUCCESS CLUBS

Joining a GEAR UP Success Club
A challenge you may want to take

Beginning in October, 1999, each participating school established a Student Success Club, and a minimum of 20 students per school will be recruited to become members.

   These clubs, led by student officers with a teacher advisor (and connected with each other across the network through a listserv) will provide opportunities for students to identify and plan ways to learn more about professional careers, i.e. videos, guest presenters, shadowing, volunteer work, field trips, and attending local community and professional meetings and seminars.
