celebrating A decade of degrees


Our Mission College Visions empowers low-income and first-generation college-bound students to realize the promise of higher education by providing advising and resources to promote college enrollment, persistence, and graduation. College Visions advances equal access to educational opportunities in historically under-served communities.


Letter from our DIRECTOR The future is always an unknown. When College Visions began, we didn’t know what the next decade held. With the amazing support of friends like you, I founded College Visions in 2004 with 10 students and a borrowed desk. It was a humble beginning and the premise was simple: with personalized, high quality coaching, low-income students will make it to college and earn a degree. But it wasn’t easy. We were up against structural inequality, decades of apathy, and harmful myths about the deep disparities in college attainment. Back in 2004, you and I knew better. The future was an opportunity to empower disadvantaged young people to graduate from college. Together we’ve changed the narrative and built something beautiful.

Because of you, in 2009… College Visions launched the Kolajo Paul Afolabi College Success Program, the first community-based college completion initiative in the state. Your generosity now extends to support young people to persist through college all the way to graduation.

Because of you, in 2010… College Visions moved into a beautiful new teen-friendly, technology-rich 1,600 square foot office in the heart of Downtown. Have you visited?

Because of you, in 2014… 325 College Visions students are on the path to a college degree. You know the need for College Visions is great, so you’ve helped us grow every single year. Because of you, there are now 140 College Visions college graduates who are bankers, educators, engineers, designers, lawyers, nurses, science researchers, social workers, and even college advisors. Think about the impact you’ve had on our students, their families, the RI economy, and beyond. It’s profound. The future is still an unknown. But momentum is on our side, and College Visions has big aspirations as we enter our second decade.

Will you be there for the next decade of CV students? With your help, CV will reach 500 students annually by 2018 and celebrate our 500th college graduate by 2020. These goals will only happen with you on our side. So I am asking you to step into the unknown and join us for another decade. Thank you!

Simon Moore, Founder and Executive Director

college access program (CAP) Closing the Gap In 2012, 88% of high school seniors in Providence planned to attend college, but only 38% enrolled right after graduation.* Our goal is to close the gap by guiding 12th graders through the critical but often confusing college admissions process. Each year we work closely with 65 students to achieve impressive results. In 2014, 100% of students received an offer of admission and 97% enrolled in college immediately after high school. *Statistic compiled by RI Kids Count

How do we do it? 1-on-1 Admissions Advising Bi-weekly meetings with staff advisors enable students to develop polished application materials and navigate the admissions process. In 2014, CV 12th graders submitted an average of 7.5 college applications.

exploring options CV enables prospective students to visit colleges across the Northeast and beyond. Also, many colleges hold info sessions and admission interviews at CV. In 2014, 57% of CV 12th graders participated in at least one campus visit and 56% attended an info session at CV.

Family Engagement Getting to college is a family endeavor, and CV engages parents and guardians through individual meetings, an open house, and various planning workshops. In 2014, 87% of families participated in at least one session with CV staff.

Our students have graduated from a diverse group of schools including: bates college

“CV gave me the opportunity to explore my different options and ultimately gave me choices on where I wanted to attend college.”

Since I was about eleven years old, I have wanted to be a nurse. I felt overwhelmed by the college process—it can be scary for someone without financial security and a good support system. I am not sure if I would be where I am today without College Visions. I had to put in the time and effort to be successful in school, but College Visions has been an amazing support system over the last five years and I will be forever grateful. The experiences and skills I gained through the help of CV allowed me to successfully complete my degree in nursing. Having people that were knowledgeable and concerned with my struggles, made the college experience that much better! I graduated in January 2014, then completed and passed my licensure exams to become a registered nurse. Anna Maria Hammond, BSN, RN | Rhode Island College ‘14 | CV Alum



Kolajo Paul Afolabi College Success Program (CSP) Getting in is great. But getting through is the goal. The Pell Institute reports a mere 11% of low-income, first-generation students who enter college earn a bachelor’s within 6 years. In response, College Visions launched the College Success Program in 2009. A unique initiative in Rhode Island, the College Success Program is now supporting 260 students to persist through college from enrollment all the way to graduation. As a result, our students earn bachelor’s degrees at more than 5 times the national rate.

How do we do it? 1-on-1 Success Coaching Advisors provide college students with individualized coaching sessions at College Visions, over the phone, and online. Many sessions also happen on campus at schools like Brandeis University, Guilford College, McDaniel College, Rhode Island College and University of Rhode Island. Success coaching empowers students to solve problems, take advantage of campus-based resources and stay on track to graduate.

affordability The College Success Program ensures that students have the financial support they need throughout college. Advisors assist college students with completing the FAFSA, creating budgets, and much more. Additionally, CV provides small Emergency Grants to assist students with critical needs like books, transportation, and even eyeglasses.

Transfer Coaching The majority of CV students who enroll in community college aspire to earn a bachelor’s degree. Advisors assist them in selecting transferrable courses and navigating the transfer admission process. As a result, CV students have transferred from Community College of Rhode Island to schools such as Mt. Holyoke College, McDaniel College, Rhode Island College, Rhode Island School of Design and University of Rhode Island.

“College Visions guided me through the whole process and continues to be there for me through their College Success Program.” Monephia nembhard | University of Rhode Island ‘15 | CV student


“College Visions never ceases to amaze me in the caliber of volunteers and staff it attracts. That culture is infectious and CV takes great care of their culture. I’m glad to be a part of shaping those efforts because these kids are phenomenal.” Stephanie Ogidan Preston Cv Board Chair and CV Donor


why we support College visions “I support CV because College Visions changes lives.” Angela Romans | CV Board Member and CV Donor

“As a first generation college student from a working class immigrant family, I absolutely know how important it is to be prepared for what lies ahead in college, academically and socially. I was not well prepared; the first years at college were extremely challenging to me, and not always in a good way! College was a real shock, in fact. I’m a university professor now and I want to see more first generation students in my classrooms. I know College Visions is contributing to this in a big way, getting young people ready for college and helping them get into college.” Robert Orsi | Professor of Religion, Northwestern University and CV Donor

our board of directors


celebrating a decade of degrees: 2004-2014 With your support, 140 College Visions students have graduated from college.

When disadvantaged youth earn a degree and enter the professional world, they change the economic trajectory of their families for generations to come.

Thank you for making our students’ achievements possible and building a healthy future for Rhode Island.

“The Rhode Island Foundation is pleased to partner with College Visions in helping first generation college-bound Rhode Islanders enter and succeed in the college of their choice. College Visions’ mission of advancing equal access to educational opportunities in historically under-served communities resonates deeply with the Foundation’s work to ensure that all Rhode Island public students have the opportunity for success in college, career and in life.” Toby Shepherd Grant Programs Officer: Education Success, Rhode Island Foundation


A Vision for the Future College Visions has grown tremendously in the last decade because of friends like you. From a single staff member with 10 students, to the current staff of 7 and countless volunteers all supporting 325 students to earn a college degree. As you know, many more students need the kind of guidance and support College Visions provides. By 2020, 71% of Rhode Island jobs will require post-secondary education. Yet far too many talented youth in low-income communities never make it there.

You have the opportunity to change this. With your support, College Visions will reach 500 students annually by 2018. Together we will achieve a vision that solidifies College Visions’ place as a leader in the education sector, empowers hundreds more capable youth to graduate from college, and narrows the opportunity gap.

Strategic Goals • Increase the number of 12th graders in the College Access Program from 65 to 100 • Expand from 260 to 400 college students in the College Success Program • Scale up the College Visions Lab initiative, which trains educators as college access and success coaches and enables College Visions’ expertise to reach thousands more youth • Celebrate the 500th College Visions college grad by 2020

“I attended the University of RI and majored in Sociology with a focus on Criminal Justice and a minor in Law, Justice and Society.”

“Before CV came in everything that had to do with college didn’t make sense. Financial aid, college essays and resumes, all came with a long process that no one ever prepared me for. Knowing that I had a group of people who wanted to see me succeed only pushed me even more to graduate.” Gleyribel Rodriguez | university of rhode island ‘12 | CV Alum and Staff
