Defying the Odds: A Conversation with Founder and CEO of The Student Expedition Program (STEP College-Prep), Dr. Tracy Baynes
A FREE NON-PROFIT EMPOWERMENT WEBCAST SERIES
Led by Jim Eskin, Fundraising Trainer/Consultant
A college education has never been so essential as it is in today’s complex, fast-changing and technology driven workplace. You must have the capacity to be a lifelong learner. The Student Expedition Program (STEP College-Prep) launched in 2004, an innovative college access and leadership program for low-income Arizona high-school students is opening huge doors of opportunity.
While only 14% of low-income students earn a college degree, an awesome 96% of STEP scholars are attending or have graduated college. Dr. Tracy Baynes is the Founder and CEO. Building on her 25 years of teaching and expedition leadership experience reinforced by a firm belief that learning in an unfamiliar and challenging environment is a transformative experience, she has evolved a mission to help high school students broaden their horizons and consider college options well beyond what they had heard was possible.
Let’s learn how Dr. Baynes has empowered thousands of young men and women to defy the odds and achieve brighter futures.
