Become an ASPIRE Site

ASPIRE helps educate Oregon students to become career and college ready. ASPIRE offers education, resources, and mentoring opportunities for all students. Student supports include 1:1 and group mentoring, activities or events that focus on career exploration, career and college research, admissions applications, scholarships, and financial aid.

Provides ASPIRE sites with personalized support, and career and college planning materials/resources.
- Training and assistance for new ASPIRE coordinators (think of ASPIRE as a Professional Learning Community for your staff that support career/college readiness)

Whether you are considering ASPIRE for your middle school, high school, community-based organizations, or college/university, ASPIRE can help you build a career and college-going culture.
