Giving Opportunities
Let’s Get Ready (LGR) is the nation’s leading student-to-student college coaching organization. We serve over 42,000 students annually across the country.
For nearly 30 years, our model has been powered by student leadership through our near-peer coaches. These paid college students support their younger peers in high school and college as they enroll and graduate.
LGR’s program model is virtual and human-centered. We use technology to ensure students in 50 states and 5,000+ zip codes have access to the support they need to graduate from college.
Let’s Get Ready relies on the support of individuals, partners, and foundations to continue providing services to our students. There are many ways for philanthropic investment and corporate sponsorship to support the high-quality programming and near-peer coaching LGR provides.
