How NYGEAR UP Can Help

students

NYGEAR UP follows a cohort approach.

Support for students begins in 7th grade and follows students through their first year of post-secondary education. As students reach different phases of their lives, NYGEAR UP provides resources to support them because the choices and attitudes students develop now will pave the way for success in college and their careers. From navigating middle school and high school to applying to college, NYGEAR UP is present as support. NYGEAR UP is designed to help you and your child prepare for a successful future.
