What type of resources does AVID offer for students exploring colleges?

AVID provides a range of resources focused on helping students develop their college exploration skills, making workshops and guidance in researching colleges a core component of their offerings. These workshops usually cover crucial topics such as how to evaluate different colleges, the significance of college culture and fit, and the various programs available. The goal is to equip students with the tools they need to make informed decisions about their post-secondary education.

While internships with local businesses, financial aid for college applications, and discounts on application fees can be valuable resources, they are not the primary focus of AVID's mission. AVID specifically emphasizes academic support, skills development, and preparing students for the college application process, hence making workshops and guidance in researching colleges the correct choice. This approach helps students not just to apply but to meaningfully explore their options and prepare for their future academic endeavors.
