Common questions

Answered before you ask

How do I sponsor a child?

Head to Get Involved and choose the sponsorship option. $50 covers a full year of education for one child — tuition, books, uniforms and supplies — and every $50 after that adds another year.

Are the workshops really free?

Yes — every college counseling workshop is completely free. Access to college guidance shouldn't depend on what your family can pay.

Where does my donation actually go?

100% goes directly to student support: tuition, books, supplies and programming. Operational costs are covered separately by board contributions.

How do I start a chapter?

Submit the chapter application on Get Involved. You need three founding members and a defined area; we handle training and ongoing support from there.

Can I volunteer remotely?

Most of our roles are remote — social media, content, virtual tutoring and administrative support. Apply through Get Involved.

How do I track my donation's impact?

Sponsors receive personalised updates on their student's progress, plus our newsletter and annual impact report.
