This is community empowerment, and inside this report you’ll read stories of our impact, learn our model, and see the statistics about our reach. For the past decade, the USC College Advising Corps has been committed to the same mission: increasing college access for first-generation, low-income and underrepresented students across Southern California. We place near-peer college advisers — recent college graduates — into local high schools that otherwise lack college counseling. This report details the impact of the program from 2013-2025.
