THRIVE & EXCEL PROGRAM
Sub:Culture Inc. collaborates closely with Adams Admissions Consulting's First Acceptance program to provide a transformative support system for BIPOC, first-generation, and lower-income high school students on their path to college. This partnership is dedicated to more than just securing college admissions; it focuses on equipping students with the tools and resources necessary to not only enter college but to excel and persist in their higher education journey. By joining forces with college access organizations we are committing to the process of getting black students who want to attend college to and through that experience.
