Success at Every Step: How 23 Programs Support Youth on the Path to College and Beyond

This publication is designed to help policymakers and practitioners learn about effective programs
supporting college- and career-readiness. These programs help diverse youth to improve their academic
performance, identify career aspirations, build employer-desired skills, plan for postsecondary
education, and develop the personal resources necessary to achieve their goals.

Twenty-three program
evaluations are briefly summarized to give policymakers and practitioners an understanding of the research findings
on effective programs along with a description of why the programs work. The 23 initiatives summarized in
this publication clearly do not represent the universe of programs that are successful in helping youth progress
along the pathway to postsecondary success; rather, they are the ones that had recent, high-quality evaluations.
