Give Something Back (Give Back)

About Us

Give Back is a non-profit organization providing long-term coaching and support services to students who have faced challenges impacting their educational and post-secondary achievement. We empower students to build resilience, overcome obstacles, and develop a pathway to achieve post-secondary education and training, a sustainable career, and brighter future.

Our hallmark services are threefold. First, each student receives 1:1 coaching twice a month, individualized goal planning, monthly skill building programming, and a positive peer community both locally and nationally. Second, Give Back provides individualized career exploration and exposure, post-secondary planning, program selection and application assistance. Third, Give Back provides financial guidance and planning for post-secondary education, FAFSA application support, grant and scholarship guidance, and the opportunity to apply for a Give Back Scholarship. All Give Back services are free.

We encourage students in 8th and 9th grade who have encountered adversities affecting their education to apply. The first step is completion of a Student Interest Form at https://www.giveback.ngo/get-started/ . Students in other grades will be considered on an individual basis.
